🚀 Discover Fastcc: A Self-Hosting C Compiler Built by AI
We recently completed an ambitious project: Fastcc, a self-hosting C compiler, crafted with minimal human intervention and optimized for ARM64 architecture. This groundbreaking venture aimed to explore AI’s capability to tackle complex software projects autonomously.
Key Highlights:
- Driven by AI: The project initiated with a single directive to build a C compiler akin to tcc, focusing on efficiency.
- Milestones Achieved:
- Day 7: Fastcc reached the milestone of self-hosting.
- Day 10: The AI agent autonomously produced a working C compiler, totaling ~35,000 lines of structured code.
- Performance Gains: Optimizations improved speed, making Fastcc approximately 4× faster than clang -O0.
Fastcc exemplifies the future of AI in software development, merging innovation with scalability. Interested in seeing how AI can revolutionize coding? Check out our GitHub repo and join the conversation! 💻🔗 #AI #SoftwareDevelopment #Fastcc #Innovation
