Can we not post LLM generated prose on topics as subtle as programming language design? Am I alone when I see this type of stuff and immediately react in anger? These things are not good technical writers - so why do people keep doing this? It is not possible to take a proposal seriously from a scientific perspective if the arguments are written by LLMs, I'm sorry, it's just terrible writing, terrible argumentation. > Every language designed before 2023 was optimized for a single tradeoff: minimize friction between human cognitive capacity and machine execution. Assembly to C to managed runtimes to DSLs were different points on the same line. In an LLM-driven workflow, those languages don’t get cheaper to use — they get more expensive. What does this mean? Why do they get more expensive? The claim is "the cost just hides in the LLM’s token count, its retry rate, and the latency it eats per turn" -- what is the cost? Am I supposed to infer what the fuck you are talking about? Why don't you send the prompt for your programming language instead? Also, the concept of "locus" has already been invented, it goes by the name of "entity" in the syndicated actor model: https://syndicate-lang.org/ I don't want to be seen as being a hater for LLM-driven language design -- totally go for it! I'm not sure if this language is by OP (if not ignore), but my advice is take some time to sharpen up the writing and argumentation or else you risk not being taken seriously. | ||
