Interesting new project from matz: an AOT compiler for a subset of Ruby that transpiles to C (without CRuby as a runtime dependency): https://github.com/matz/spinel. Generated with claude code. My immediate question: spinel_codegen.rb is over 22K lines. Isn't that way too big even for LLMs with large context windows? Here at work we are being told to minimize our source files, my project still has one over 5K lines and I sometimes see claude doing funky grep/tail invocations on it...
