For such investigation, I've installed Claude code on my VoidLinux setup. Since several months I'm interested by the Zip program language and their objectives. So, I've stated to ask Claude if he knows zig. Then I was thinking, what I can ask such robot to build in zip. So, my request was to perform it in parallel computing and to be compatible with the zip format. Amazingly, after 6 cycles code - compile - test, Claude proposed a working code after 17 minutes. Then I've asked him to compare this tool with other equivalent compression tools. This blog present results.
