The most scary thing for me about this whole thing is how it feels like programming as we know it is becoming obsolete. Yeah, there is a list c that’s never used, and that bothers me, but the real question is: should anyone care? When looked at from the perspective of the trade-off, i.e. code generation from unstructured natural language input, the answer is (unfortunately) no——and that is of course ignoring the fact that such improvements are incremental and will come very soon anyway. Picking on this is like what a programmer from the 60’s would say if they looked at the binary of the CPython interpreter, or something like that. Yeah you could probably do better, but it would take maybe 100x longer (or more), and the performance impact in the executable would be negligible. So yeah Peter we feel you, this is scary…
