mochi VS tablepilot

Totally agree. It is why we're building Mochi, https://github.com/mochilang/mochi a small language that treats AI, datasets, and graph queries as first-class citizens, not just targets for code generation.

It's inspired by the evolution you mentioned: early compilers generating Assembly, now AI tools generating Python or SQL. Mochi leans into that by embedding declarative data queries, AI generation, and streaming logic directly into the language. Here is how it looks:

I'm building Mochi, a small programming language with a custom VM and a focus on querying structured data (CSV, JSON, and eventually graph) in a unified and lightweight way.

It started as an experiment in writing LINQ-style queries over real datasets and grew into a full language with:

* declarative queries built into the language

- FFI bindings to expose `fact`, `rule`, and `query` to scripts

Example: [https://chatgpt.com/share/cd\_684d3e3c59c08191b20c49ad97b66e...](https://chatgpt.com/share/cd_684d3e3c59c08191b20c49ad97b66e0...)

Total implementation was \~250 LOC. Genuinely amazed how effective the LLM was at helping bootstrap a real logic layer in one go.

Prepare to release https://github.com/Yiling-J/tablepilot v0.4.0, new workflow feature

I generated 100 recipes with images using gemini-2.0-flash and gemini-2.0-flash-exp-image-generation as a demo of text+image generation in my open-source project: https://github.com/Yiling-J/tablepilot/tree/main/examples/10...

You can see the full table with images here: https://tabulator-ai.notion.site/1df2066c65b580e9ad76dbd12ae...

I think the results came out quiet well. Be aware I don't generate a text prompt based on row data for image generation. Instead, the raw row data(ingredients, instructions...) and table metadata(column names and descriptions) are sent directly to gemini-2.0-flash-exp-image-generation.

I think the recipes on your site are AI-generated? If you're looking to generate a large number of recipes, I highly recommend my tool: https://github.com/Yiling-J/tablepilot. It's specifically designed for this kind of task. Don't forget to check out the examples folder, I use recipes as examples a lot.
