"8 Weeks with Claude and NLP++" is an article by David de Hilster published on 4 July 2026 on NLU Global, also carried on VisualText.
De Hilster reports on eight weeks of building version 3 of the NLP Engine and its VS Code extension with AI assistance: hundreds of commits across more than a dozen repositories, new NLP++ language functions, cross-platform fixes, one-click cloud compilation, documentation conversion and scaffolding for over forty information extractors, at five to ten times his usual output. The question the piece sets out to answer is narrower and harder — whether a model trained on public code can write NLP++ at all, given how little of it exists on GitHub.
