Project mention: Yes, Claude Code can decompile itself. Here's the source code | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-03-01
Without a Github link?
The other linked "oh fuck" article https://ghuntley.com/oh-fuck/ where it supposedly converts https://github.com/RustAudio/cpal at least has a linked video. As far as I can see, based on that video's file tree/Haskell files - its not exactly doing what's described in the article. I'll extrapolate from there...

reading about Eno's ideas on organization and variety makes me want to share some perspectives directly from my experience with music performance practice, specifically in live coding.
For a long time, the common practice in live coding, which you might see on platforms like Flok.cc (https://flok.cc) supporting various interesting languages, has been like this: Everyone gets their own 'space' or editor. From there, they send messages to a central audio server to control their own sound synthesis.
This is heavily influenced by architectures like SuperCollider's client-server model, where the server is seen as a neutral entity.
Crucially, this relies a lot on social rules, not system guarantees. You could technically control someone else's track, or even mute everything. People generally restrain themselves.
A downside is that one person's error can sometimes crash the entire server for everyone.
Later, while developing my own live coding language, Glicol (https://glicol.org), I started exploring a different approach, beginning with a very naive version:

xiu
A simple,high performance and secure live media server in pure Rust (RTMP[cluster]/RTSP/WebRTC[whip/whep]/HTTP-FLV/HLS).🦀
Not sure what you want to do exactly, but https://github.com/harlanc/xiu could be a fit.
