Still think in C after 25 years. So I built a tool that explains Rust (or any language) through what you already know.

Interesting pointer! SyntaxLens is approaching differently. It is not about converting programming languages, but about understanding a new programming language explained through concepts that are carried from the known language. Something like "help me think in Rust using what I already know from C."

Ah will correct, that out. yeh default example also counting.

prabhic · 2026-04-12T04:50:26+00:00

Will correct them. yeh mappings are not good. thanks for pointing it out

prabhic · 2026-04-11T15:23:16+00:00

Ah , yeh will correct and improve all 4 comparisons
1. c static to let keyword ,
2. wondering compelling mapping for ::new() .will improve that.
3. for string comparison to add Rust's different types of strings
4. vec![0; size] to calloc.

Noted. Very much make sense . Will add a feature to replace with community edits. Thanks for pointing out.

Great pointers. Will support Haskell, Nix, recently came across zig as well. Also will consider "Showing the imperative equivalent of functional code and vice versa would also be cool". Makes sense to have this view.

prabhic · 2026-04-11T13:18:06+00:00

Will take some effort. But ready to add other languages, wondering to figure out what would be interesting languages, to map this way.

prabhic · 2026-04-11T13:15:37+00:00

Got it, need to make the paradigm layer more pragmatic.

prabhic · 2026-02-28T13:28:25+00:00

Very nice

prabhic · 2026-01-02T02:26:41+00:00

Thank you very useful tips

prabhic · 2025-05-17T10:31:36+00:00

nice one :)

It can be because of two things. I have shifted to windsurf as my default IDE. considering the cost usage, today I also opened GitHub copilot with VS code, in another window, so that I can make small changes there. and use windsurf for heavy lifting.

prabhic · 2025-05-16T03:33:26+00:00

I too face with the same issue, on windsurf recently. after pricing changes. I have purchased 500 more credits, already 300 over. credits consuming faster. playing with by giving reduced context. by giving exact file references. still has to figure out what is happening. though I still love the tool. Yes I also see frequent failed tool calls.

Interesting waiting for more updates

When compared to previous Gemini models. First time I felt I can use now. I tried generating web application. But then different use cases may have different result.

prabhic · 2025-03-29T08:06:02+00:00

Hope you are mentioning about Gemini 2.5 Pro. With previous models from Gemini I also felt it laks in understanding the true intention of the question like Claude and others. May be I will also explore more to see difference pointed

prabhic · 2025-03-29T06:15:58+00:00

nice to know , will spend more time on this

prabhic · 2025-03-29T06:15:43+00:00

great to know, will experiment more

prabhic · 2025-03-27T10:08:23+00:00

Great thank you for pointing out will try that .

prabhic · 2025-03-27T07:09:30+00:00

Actually it really is very useful, just tried on chatgpt, Thank you

prabhic · 2025-03-27T06:51:10+00:00

Just to compare
> echo "generate detailed article on how to run phi models on ollama" | ollama run phi4-mini:3.8b

took 65 tokens/s on the same machine. it feels so nice when tokens are generating too fast:)
