The article dives into the author's frustrations with the current socio-political climate while juxtaposing it with significant advancements in computing. The author expresses outrage over governmental actions, including detaining children and undermining international alliances. Amidst this chaos, they highlight the remarkable progress in computer technology, specifically the ability to run a full Linux environment using Go programming language without special permissions. The centerpiece of the article is the author’s project to port Fabrice Bellard’s TinyEMU RISC-V emulator from C to Go. They provide a specific command to run the emulator, emphasizing its capabilities, such as mounting host filesystems and network access. The author collaborated with an AI named Claude to handle the technicalities of the porting process, detailing their interaction and the challenges faced along the way. The project started with a clear plan and progress seemed promising until the author encountered significant hurdles during the final stages. They noted that the last 20% of a complex project is often the hardest, especially when relying on AI to navigate the intricacies of code. Despite various attempts to improve testing and code coverage, issues persisted, particularly with mounting the initrd for Linux booting. The author reflects on the challenges of maintaining context in a complex codebase and the importance of aligning the new Go code closely with the original C implementation.
