Just had a wild thought:
Have we made our last major programming languages?
@marcoarment I asked someone who worked on the first GitHub copilot if we need “a programming language for llms” his answer was that the existing ones are already perfect for it. So unlikely we will see another big one —

@marcoarment I should think that large scale concurrency has been solidly, intuitively, easily, and safely handled that there should not be any more languages needed.

@marcoarment I feel like some variant of Lisp will end up being a universal language when machines are doing most of the raw writing and reading. But maybe that’s just me (as a former professional lisp coder)

@marcoarment I actually have a friend who has spent the last month writing a new language that more deeply embeds the ideas of MCP into its core. It's fascinating to see him take what he's learned and bring it to a domain-- I think we may actually see lots of micro-languages that are purpose built.
@jsonbecker @marcoarment There's something to this. I'm working on an app that has a little purpose-built scripting language and LLMs can work really well with that when provided with a reference markdown file of the syntax and supported functions, plus a CLI to evaluate the code. It's pretty remarkable seeing that in action.

@marcoarment We as in humans? Yes. I bet we see a LLM-created (or inspired) programming language. The key is data. Reasoning will be key here.

Have we made our last major programming languages?
@marcoarment My totally unscientific take: yes for the „user space“ (App Development) no for kernel space.

@marcoarment Yes COBOL was it

Have we made our last major programming languages?
@marcoarment propably. End of an era I guess.
I get that LLMs are the futures. But it has just killed my interest in tech/programming and I’m actively switching to a different career.

@marcoarment
If “major” means “used for a significant portion of code written/generated”, I would want to leave room for one or two new languages, authored by LLM for LLMsOtherwise, with access to LLM themselves, my guess is that we will see a Cambrian explosion of small purpose built languages

@marcoarment
Good question - I have been worrying about innovation, and where the incentive is to innovate now.If LLMs had become popular 10 years earlier, would Apple have made SwiftUI, when it’s easier to have a machine churn out UIKit code forever?

Just had a wild thought:
Have we made our last major programming languages?
@marcoarment absolutely not. There’s still a need for languages that reduce the amount of boilerplate, increase safety without performance overhead, and with no reliance on the random-code generators. Especially when Anthropic/OpenAI will need to start earning profits from LLMs
-
Just had a wild thought:
Have we made our last major programming languages?
@marcoarment Of course not. It's just that an LLM will make the next one, and it will probably read like brainfuck

‘For Vinogradov, the result is a familiar situation for open source projects: a lot of work to do, and not enough good engineers to do it.
“AI does not increase the number of active, skilled maintainers,” he remarked. “It empowers the good ones, but all the fundamental problems just remain.”’
For open source programs, AI coding tools are a mixed blessing | TechCrunch
AI coding tools have enabled a flood of bad code that threatens to overwhelm many projects. Building new features is easier, but maintaining them is just as hard.

@james thankfully no kludge is necessary here, there is a structured way of expressing "here is this episode on another platform": contentLink

still usable by apps and @nathan
if nothing means anything, why not use the image tag? it also has a url and a content-type
what is the argument _for_ putting youtube links in alternateEnclosure? Budget for rss tags exhausted? "I just kind of learned about this concept, incompletely, and it's sort of close"? I don't get it
