I couldn't agree more. Popularity matters because of training data availability, not that a language is pleasant to write. It means Python probably still has a long life ahead of it, but newcomers have a much higher barrier to entry.
- verdverm 3y agoI'm not sure I agree, there was an interesting result where reading the game instructions drastically reduced training effort. https://singularityhub.com/2023/03/10/an-ai-learned-to-play-atari-6000-times-faster-by-reading-the-instructions/ https://singularityhub.com/2023/03/10/an-ai-learned-to-play-... It seems quite plausible that a well written language spec and fewer examples will give the model enough to work with.

- abraxas 3y agoThat could be queried by the LLM as needed. Tons of work has been done on giving LLMs long term memory
- verdverm 3y agoI wouldn't really call that long term memory, we don't consider stuff we look up to be in our long term memory.
- verdverm 3y agoCould not those libraries and ecosystem projects be developed by the LLM? It could be a great way to build out rapidly with low cost, especially if you can get a mapping from another, broader language, to your own.
- aatd86 3y agoI don't think it will ever be possible below the point of reaching some form of AGI. But even if it were, it's more about design and not sure that a machine will have the same empathy towards a human cognitive shortcomings.
