After re-reading the post once again, because I honestly thought I was missing something obvious that would make the whole thing make sense, I started to wonder if the author actually understands the scope of a computer language. When he says:
> LLMs are far more nondeterministic than previous higher level languages. They also can help you figure out things at the high level (descriptions) in a way that no previous layer could help you dealing with itself. […] What about quality and understandability? If instead of a big stack, we use a good substrate, the line count of the LLM output will be much less, and more understandable. If this is the case, we can vastly increase the quality and performance of the systems we build.
How does this even work? There is no universe I can imagine where a natural language can be universal, self descriptive, non ambiguous, and have a smaller footprint than any purpose specific language that came before it.
