I'm using Antigravity with Gemini to experiment with "agents" 
(not AI agents... agents as small active pieces following simple 
rules) and "emergence" (how global behavior emanates from local 
interrelations) using D and raylib for visualization. In 2 
minutes I had a debuggable project... after 10 minutes of testing 
I decided not to review the code: Gemini was programming 
fluently. I was simply describing changes to the experiment and 
the code was traslating my natural language (in Spanish) in a few 
seconds... 3 hours of experimentation that in the past would have 
needed two weeks of nightly work (wasting my sleep time :-p).

Generated code is really good and Gemini solves fastly problems 
like not using COLORS definition from raylib and generating it's 
own enum (and it is it's own decision)

Other experiments:  Relastivistic (gravity "propagates") 
simulation of solar system,  Sort arlgorithms based on agents 
(Agentic Bubblesort in a circular topology?) , Economics based on 
agents, ...can rotation emerge from a not rotational system of 
isolated particles and gravity forces?

A second project

I designed a programming language (hight level one) years ago and 
I'm using claude as a compiler :-p transpiling to D... work in 
progress :-)

AI opens a lot of ways for experimentation...
