This is wild. I gave it some legacy XML describing a formula-driven calculator app, and it produced a working web app in under a minute:

I spent years building a compiler that takes our custom XML format and generates an app for Android or Java Swing. Gemini pulled off the same feat in under a minute, with no explanation of the format. The XML is fairly self-explanatory, but still.

I tried doing the same with Lovable, but the resulting app wouldn't work properly, and I burned through my credits fast while trying to nudge it into a usable state. This was on another level.
