mxer··on 1991 WWW-NeXT Implementation
Stats show 72% Objective-C and 10% C. What benefits does Objective-C over C that makes this a language of choice for this project? And what parts are implemented in C? Can someone share some info about this?
mxer··on Ask HN: What's your experience with AI-based code review tools?
It helps catch the most obvious bugs. Like the algorithmic bugs. If the comment string says something and the code does not do that, that's caught fine. But it is not so good at catching domain related bugs. I think that's to be expected because these AI-tools don't have the knowledge of the domain and the hidden assumptions that come from experience in a domain. It could improve in future if the AI-based tools are trained on a lot of design documents + code that solve domain problems.
