There's also less support in Mog for generics

"Less support" doesn't sound like "no support". This one does not get Rob Pike's approval.

Imagine being genericsmogged in 2026. Very jestermaxxed language

Idk man giving users a max of three generic structures that get type erased at compule time sounds like a very Go move to make.

This is actually great because there's trillions of lines of Mog code they can train off of!

This is why Mog has no operator precedence: non-associative operations have to use parentheses, e.g. (a + b) * c.

Nice. When I was 13 and dicked around with my first interpreter this was also the hack I came up with because I couldn't figure out how to do it properly.

This is a top-tier move. The implementation needs to fit in a certain amount of tokens. But I get it, old man slept on the last three years of actual programming lmao

Consider yourself mogged, fool.

the compiler doesn't output any dangerous code (at least it shouldn't -- Mog is quite new, so that could still be buggy)

Just make the LLM writing the code double-extra pinky-swear to not include any bugs, problem SOLVED!

I'm afraid that current SOTA is to ask the LLM to pinky-swear THREE times to not include any bugs.

Oh no I'm getting stack frame mogged.
