Would we be better off using an SLM and training it on the kernel source, documentation, and the C standard?
Certainly with minority languages (DataBASIC cough cough) I've heard a fair few reports that that approach actually gets pretty good results. An LLM just gets terminally confused with all the variants of BASIC out there ...
