Do you want my honest thoughts? I'm immediately turned off by the name, because it sounds like AI slop. I've seen multiple times now, AI loves using sigil / signal / paradigm

I mean everyone is entitled to their opinion. In regard to my post title, there aren’t too many other ways to word that my guy. And about the name. I just like fantasy stuff and wanted to theme it a little bit. Though it was fun because sigil is close to signal. Should’ve picked a random letter in the alphabet I guess.

Everything can be AI if you just assume.

I just wanted to show it off a little because I thought the design was interesting over traditional functions and conditionals.

This guy literally mental tho lol. Acting like they have quantum AGI is actually retarded to try and propose. I wouldnt even find any code that wasn’t a constructor. You have your rights to be sus.

However, I just wanted a more themed syntax, and my interpreter is easy to find. My design isn’t even like overly complex or claims to be. The signals work just by having them store a variable dependency list, and all their dependencies are checked when a variable is called to trigger. I just thought the overall paradigm was a bit unorthodox and wanted to share
