The score comes from our model.

• Show HN: A Kotlin compiler written in Go, 10x faster than kotlinc · score 8.5

  A Kotlin-to-JVM compiler implemented in Go that achieves 10-16x speedups over kotlinc on real libraries while using a tenth of the memory, passing 95% of kotlinc's box tests and building libraries that pass their own test suites. The project is technically exceptional but remains a prototype lacking full language support, most diagnostics, incremental compilation, Gradle/IDE integration, and non-JVM targets.

• Show HN: Config parser written in TypeScript types · score 7.3

  A complete SOML config parser, encoder, and canonicalizer implemented entirely in TypeScript's type system using conditional types and type-level arithmetic. It's an impressive technical feat that demonstrates the limits of TypeScript's type-level programming, but has little practical utility since it only works on literal types, not runtime config files.

• Show HN: Teaching a 30ms local model, play browser games with LLM written rules · score 7.3

  IronBee Gamer plays browser games automatically by having an LLM write game-specific perception and decision rules, then using a fast local model (Laya) for real-time decisions. It works without game APIs, using canvas or engine state extraction, and includes a training pipeline, Hugging Face library, and a web UI. The project is interesting for combining LLM-guided rule generation with a lightweight decision engine for interactive play.

• Show HN: Imp, an LLM Server for RTX 50 GPUs, Written by Claude Code · score 7.0

  Imp is a C++23 LLM inference server engineered specifically for NVIDIA Blackwell sm_120a GPUs (RTX 50 and RTX PRO Blackwell), exploiting native FP4 tensor-core math and PCIe expert offload to serve MoE models larger than VRAM. It exposes OpenAI and Anthropic-compatible APIs and reports competitive benchmarks against vLLM and llama.cpp on a single RTX 5090. The narrow hardware targeting and one-maintainer/no-CI-GPU situation limit its reach, but the technical depth and documentation are notable.
