If your AI is writing bad code then you need to change your AI. No current high-end AI should be producing bad code.

Why not use Qt-embedded, which is specifically designed for this kind of thing and works well?

I've actually been toying with writing an Algol 68 compiler myself for a while.

While I doubt I'll do any major development in it, I'll definitely have a play with it, just to revisit old memories and remind myself of its many innovations.

As a fan of Algol 68, I'm pretty excited for this.

For people who aren't familiar with the language, pretty much all modern languages are descended from Algol 60 or Algol 68. C descends from Algol 60, so pretty much every popular modern language derives from Algol in some way [1].

In most word processing software you just type "--", or "--- " to get an em-dash. It's not rocket science.

Not if you step on them with bare feet - those things are worse than LEGO. They could punch through a horse's hoof.

Wow. That's surprisingly lame.

Yes, I also wrote my own C interpreter and the parser was a lot more than a day's work.
