Considering the need for LLM boilerplate coding as a language and tooling failure is an interesting observation. It begs the question why there is still such a thing as boilerplate. I mean I understand how programming languages work and why boilerplate is essential, but at the same time LLMs demonstrate that brevity is possible without loss of expressivity or legibility, albeit in a very roundabout and costly way. Perhaps there is a programming paradigm that strikes a balance between these opposites, especially if you're willing to spend more computational resources on it than traditional compilation (but with a complexity ceiling orders of magnitude lower than LLMs).
