Show HN: A Coding Agent from Scratch

A developer released a coding agent built from scratch using a custom Rust-based ML DSL, publishing the implementation under an MIT license with a demo video, sample code, and an Emacs org-mode literate programming document. The git repository runs the agent locally on a system with Ollama and a coding LLM, and it does not yet connect to cloud LLMs. The project was inspired by, but not ported from, OpenCode.

I saw a post about building a coding agent from "first principles" and that inspired me to create my own. I used my own custom Rust-based ML DSL to implement this. The blog post includes link to the repos MIT Licensed , a video of the agent in action, sample code produced, and an Emacs org-mode literate programming document explaining the implementation and tests. There are links to an interactive playground for the sw-MLPL language. The git repo can be used to run this agent locally on a system with Ollama and a coding LLM. Does not yet connect to cloud LLMs. I hope this helps someone learn how a coding agent can be built. Inspired by but not ported from OpenCode.
