Chris Latner of Apple's Swift and Tesla fame is running a company entirely predicated on this, but at the deterministic language design level rather than the inference level. If a beam search, initiative plan and execute phase is more effective than having better tooling in a deterministic programming language then this will clearly take the lead. | ||

Thanks for the link! I am not familiar with the company but reminds me of the whole formal methods debate in distributed systems. Sure, writing TLA+ specs is the 'correct' deterministic way to build a Raft implementation, but in reality everyone just writes messy Go/Java and patches bugs as they pop up because its faster. | ||
