Very cool. Maybe add some image embeddings for additional metadata for the search results?
Genuine question: why js?
Why not something like c#: native, fast, crossplatform, strongly-typed, great tooling, supports both scripting (ie single file-based) and compiled to a binary with no dependency whatsoever (nativeAOT), great errors and error stacks, list goes on.
All great for AI to recover during its iterations of generating something useful.
Genuinely perplexed.
I thought c# was a dead language at this point?
Free now isn't free forever. If something has inherent value then folks will be willing to pay for it.
Well, if they suddenly changed the license, we'd get a new Redis --> Valkey situation.
Or even more recently, look at minio no longer maintaining their core open source project!
It's fine but why is Js a good language for agents? I mean sure its faster than python but wouldn't something that compiles to native be much better?
TS is enormous, has endless training data, and can interact with virtually anything on the Internet these days.
Also, strong typing is very very useful for AI coding context.
> It also has TypeScript which pairs well with agentic coding loops, (...)
I've heard that TypeScript is pretty rough on agentic coding loops because the idiomatic static type assertion code ends up requiring huge amounts of context to handle in a meaningful way. Is there any truth to it?
I think this is contingent on the skill of the human reviewing the AI's code.

Subway builder gets a thumbs up from me.
