Partially, yes, but not in the way you're thinking.

LLMs have done a significant amount of the "typing", but I was behind the wheel at every stage of development and wrote almost the entirety of the original compiler designs by hand.

There was no point in development when I said "claude, write me a programming language". I simply would not have been able to finish this project in my lifetime by myself without the assistance of LLMs in both the scale and speed that they can operate as well as using them as an accelerated learning tool for myself. It's been a great boon to this project and I have zero regrets :)
