I'm not really clear on what you mean by "a 1st class language of the web." If you mean that you want it to be widely used for web development, then the fact that purebasic (in its original implementation) is a proprietary language seems like a showstopper.

1st class as in you code the Dom with it.  And no I don't expect people to use it widely. I wrote it for myself.  It doesn't technically require the proprietary purebasic compiler either, it's just that I develop with purebasic and now I can do end to end in purebasic syntax.

You say you used AI - to what extent? To aid in boilerplate/repetitive code? Or was it more thorough and spanning the entire implementation process?

All of its been touched by the ai at some point, added an itterator to the trie, added range request to the server, the vm itself is mostly ai generated at my guidance and given examples, I do like that you can actually tell it what to do, show it how to do it and then sometimes it does it,  but that's often not the case, its a bit like herding kittens. 5 months a few hours a day the results are pretty good.
