  > if everything goes well with a "symbolic programming" there no reason to change. Yes and no. The elephant in the procgen room is the "1000 bowls of oatmean" problem[1] ie: perceptual uniqueness. Many procgen practitioners want to maximize serendipity but don't see a path toward that. I expect that methods explored in academia will filter down to practitioners, but the speed at which this occurs is largely modulated by the number of people with a foot in each world and willing to communicate with both sides. The same kind of gap exists within programming language theory and design, though because it is a bigger field, it benefits from network effects to a greater extent.
