Language creator tests AI on unseen spec, finds design flaws in 9 of 36 attempts

A designer tested the specification for Kaury, a small website-generation language, on 36 fresh Claude AI sessions that had never seen it. The AI sessions attempted to build sites like a restaurant page or quiz using only the spec file, with no compiler access for checking.

After adjustments, 18 of 20 retested files compiled successfully.
