Reverse engineering OpenAI code execution to make it run C and JavaScript

3 months ago I wanted to draw an ASCII diagram to include in some documentation at work. I found the few tools online to be insufficient, and was suprised there wasn&#x27;t a more complete tool to get the job done.Since, I&#x27;ve built Cascii from scratch in vanilla Javascript (I&#x27;m not an FE dev, it might be obvious...).I hope it works alright. Please check out the live version at <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;cascii.app" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;cascii.app</a>, report problems, make diagrams to improve your code&#x27;s documentation. Hope you enjoy using it.

Hey everybody, you might remember my older game, Lander! It made a big splash on Hacker News about 2 years ago. I&#x27;m still enjoying writing games with no dependencies. I&#x27;ve been working on Bubbles for about 6 months and would love to see your scores.If you like it, you can build your own levels with my builder tool: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;ehmorris.com&#x2F;bubbles&#x2F;builder&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;ehmorris.com&#x2F;bubbles&#x2F;builder&#x2F;</a> and share the levels here or via Github.

Hi HN! I’m Tony, co-founder of Inngest. I wanted to share AgentKit, our Typescript multi-agent library we’ve been cooking and testing with some early users in prod for months.Although OpenAI’s Agents SDK has been launched since, we think an Agent framework should offer more deterministic and flexible routing, work with multiple model providers, embrace MCP (for rich tooling), and support the unstoppable and growing community of TypeScript AI developers by enabling a smooth transition to production use cases.This is why we are building AgentKit, and we’re really excited about it for a few reasons:Firstly, it’s simple. We embrace KISS principles brought by Anthropic and HuggingFace by allowing you to gradually add autonomy to your AgentKit program using primitives:- Agents: LLM calls that can be combined with prompts, tools, and MCP native support.- Networks: a simple way to get Agents to collaborate with a shared State, including handoff.- State: combines conversation history with a fully typed state machine, used in routing.- Routers: where the autonomy lives, from code-based to LLM-based (ex: ReAct) orchestrationThe routers are where the magic happens, and allow you to build deterministic, reliable, testable agents.AgentKit routing works as follows: the network calls itself in a loop, inspecting the State to determine which agents to call next using a router. The returned agent runs, then optionally updates state data using its tools. On the next loop, the network inspects state data and conversation history, and determines which new agent to run.This fully typed state machine routing allows you to deterministically build agents using any of the effective agent patterns — which means your code is easy to read, edit, understand, and debug.This also makes handoff incredibly easy: you define when agents should hand off to each other using regular code and state (or by calling an LLM in the router for AI-based routing). This is similar to the OpenAI Agents SDK but easier to manage, plan, and build.Then comes the local development and moving to production capabilities.AgentKit is compatible with Inngest’s tooling, meaning that you can test agents using Inngest’s local DevServer, which provides traces, inputs, outputs, replay, tool, and MCP inputs and outputs, and (soon) a step-over debugger so that you can easily understand and visually see what&#x27;s happening in the agent loop.In production, you can also optionally combine AgentKit with Inngest for fault-tolerant execution. Each agent’s LLM call is wrapped in a step, and tools can use multiple steps to incorporate things like human-in-the-loop. This gives you native orchestration, observability, and out-of-the-box scale.You will find the documentation as an example of an AgentKit SWE-bench and multiple Coding Agent examples.It’s fully open-source under the Apache 2 license.If you want to get started:- npm: npm i @inngest&#x2F;agent-kit- GitHub: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;inngest&#x2F;agent-kit" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;inngest&#x2F;agent-kit</a>- Docs: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;agentkit.inngest.com&#x2F;overview" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;agentkit.inngest.com&#x2F;overview</a>We’re excited to finally launch AgentKit; let us know what you think!

Context: I was tasked with migrating a legacy workflow system (Broadcom CA Workflow Automation) to Airflow.There are some jobs that contain rather simple JavaScript snippets, and I was trying to design a first prototype that simply takes the JS parts and runs them in a transpiler.In this respect, I found a couple of packages that could be leveraged:
- js2py: https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;PiotrDabkowski&#x2F;Js2Py
- mini-racer: https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;bpcreech&#x2F;PyMiniRacer
Yet, both seem to be abandoned packages that might not be suitable for usage in production.Therefore, I was thinking about parsing and translating Javascript&#x27;s abstract syntax trees to Python. Whereas a colleague suggested I bring up an LLM pipeline.How much of an overkill that might be? Has anyone else ever dealt with a JavaScript-to-Python migration and could share heads-ups on strategies or pitfalls to avoid?

Some features that every JavaScript developer should know in 2025

No-JavaScript Fingerprinting

JavaScript powers the web - it's **the** most important programming language you need to know as a web developer.

## Exempel 1

For example, We have an array of different objects that can weigh the same or different and are spaced apart from us.
The customer wants the lightest and closest object.

```js
object.sort((a,b)=>a.weigh - b.weigh)

 const lightest=(object[0].weigh);
 let sortDistance=(object[0].distance); 

 for (let i = 0; i< object.length; i++) { 
 if (lightest === object[i].weigh && sortDistance > object[i].distance){
 sortDistance = object[i].distance;
 sortObject.unshift(object[i]);
 }else{
 sortObject.push(object[i]);
 }
 }
```
