24 alternatives to Building a Rust-ish programming language with 100% coding agents: Wado
I started this in January and haven't written a line of the compiler myself. Coding agents write every line; I do design and taste. Wado is a Rust-flavored, GC'd language for WebAssembly Component Model. Try it in the browser, and ask me anything!

Hello HN! The day has finally come to stop adding features and start sharing what I've been building the last 5-6 months. It's a bit of CrewAI, OpenDevon, LangFuse/Cloud all in one, providing devs who prefer TypeScript an integrated framework thats provides a lot out of the box to start experimenting and building agents with. It started after peeking at the LangChain docs a few times and never liking the example code. I began experimenting with automating a simple Jira request from the engineering team to add an index to one of our Google Spanner databases (for context I'm the…

Hi HN! I’m Syrus, from the Wasmer team. We just released the new version of WAPM that is an order of magnitude better than the previous one (that we also announced here in HN two years ago! [0]), enabling an incredible experience for using and publishing WebAssembly packages. The tech stack that we are using includes: * Python and Django (for the backend) with Graphene (for the open GraphQL API [1]) and Django Channels with websockets over GraphQL [2] for subscriptions * Next.js [3] with React-Relay [4] and Tailwind.css [5] for the frontend * WebAssembly and Wasmer [6] (for the online shell)…

Hello! We just released freeact (https://github.com/gradion-ai/freeact), a lightweight agent library that empowers language models to act as autonomous agents through executable code actions. By enabling agents to express their actions directly in code rather than through constrained formats like JSON, freeact provides a flexible and powerful approach to solving complex, open-ended problems that require dynamic solution paths. * Supports dynamic installation and utilization of Python packages at runtime * Agents learn from feedback and store successful code actions as…

"Game" is a stretch, but I put together this repo containing a pure Rust app which uses SDL2 and compiles to WASM (and can be run in a browser). Older resources were a bit out of date and a bit too verbose for my purposes, so here's a minimal working example.

Recently several AI labs have published experiments where they tried to get AI coding agents to complete large software projects. - Cursor attempted to make a browser from scratch: https://cursor.com/blog/scaling-agents - Anthropic attempted to make a C Compiler: https://www.anthropic.com/engineering/building-c-compiler I have been wondering if there are software packages that can be easily reproduced by taking the available test suites and tasking agents to work on projects until the existing test suites pass. After playing with this concept by having…

We built a Rust MCP server, which wraps the excellent headless terminal (HT)[1] to makes it available for agentic coding tools. Most agentic coding tools struggle with blocking, interactive terminal tools (all the boilerplate generator, infra CLI tools etc). This is because many existing CLI dev tools are built for humans and require interactive input. We built this so agentic coding tools (Claude Code, Cursor, Memex, etc) can “see” and “interact” with terminals exactly like humans do. In our demo video [2], you'll see it operating vim/emacs just as a human would - selecting options,…

Hi HN, I'm George Ciobanu (https://www.linkedin.com/in/georgeciobanunyc). I built pandō ('CAD for code') because I got tired of watching AI agents burn tokens, take forever, and still get it wrong. Here's (one reason) why this happens: AI agents read and edit code as if it's just text. But code is more, much more: it has structure, syntax, relationships, and meaning. Code is Data We built pandō around this insight. It indexes and persists your code's AST in a database, which gives AI agents instant search results, and enforces syntactically correct edits. Here's a full…

Hi everyone! Hope you had a great day so far, and maybe its about to get just a little bit better (thanks Winter ;) So I had way to many terminal windows flying about when using Claude, and kept losing track of which terminal / session / project im in right now. So I built a solution for that, presented it to my team, and now we're using our new tool all the time, and developing it to be the most helpful agents organization tool we can think of. Unfortunatelly, Claude Code only for now, will do Codex soon tho. What it does for you: Main features: - Overview of your projects, with…

We just open-sourced the internal system we built at Assembled for running coding agents as a team. Coding agents worked well for individual engineers, but the surrounding workflow was a bit of a mess. We generally found that many engineers had different MCP connections and context for their agents, personal automations running that other people couldn’t access, and very little introspection for what a human’s input into the coding agent looked like. So we built an internal system that converted coding agents into shared team infrastructure. The system runs Codex, Claude Code, OpenCode, and…

Hi HN, I recently open sourced a small tool (Remuda) that I built at work to remove some of the friction of launching and managing agents and figured HN might be interested. I also wrote a post on the company blog that goes into more detail about why I built it and showcases its features: https://www.yendo.com/blog/remuda-an-agent-orchestrator

ADK-Rust▲6Hey everyone! I'm excited to share ADK-Rust - a production-ready implementation of Google's Agent Development Kit in Rust. Why Rust? After working extensively with adk-python in developing an ai agent factory at zavora.ai, I wanted to bring the same powerful agent development patterns to the Rust ecosystem, targeting use cases where: Performance is critical - Rust's zero-cost abstractions and memory safety Deployment size matters - Single binary with no runtime dependencies Systems-level integration - Embedded systems, edge computing, IoT Concurrency at scale - Rust's async/await with…
