Yeah, the problem is that I do not think the agents is good at reusing scripts and stitching it together.At least for me it's recreating to much similar. I hope we will see platforms like windmill.dev find the optimal solution for this. I have not been able to test it enough. But have a platform that gives you some observability out of the box and protect secrets from llm is nice

I noticed that too. Unless you _ask_ for a script, they throw away the scripts they write.

They are particularly bad at complex multiline parsing. Writing all sorts of weird/crude python/awk scripts and getting confused in the process.

I wish they would use Perl6/Grammer or Haskell/Parsec or similar and write better parsing scripts.

For the non haskell folks like myself, what would that look like/ why is parsing better? Perl i get

[reddit_clone]

Perl has powerful regular expressions, but it only goes so far. Doing multiline/nested structured parsing is too painful.

Perl6/Raku has built in grammers that can do that idiomatically.

If you have a couple minutes, give this a glance. It will give you an idea.

I am no expert in haskell either. But parsec is similar in concept.
