Do LLMs eliminate the need for programming languages?

  According to Betteridge's law of headlines, No. LLMs will not eliminate the need for programming languages. This is overly sensationalist

    Yes the title is sensationalist. The real question in the body of the article is "What's the ideal programming language for LLMs to output?" I thought that question was interesting and I'd already posted a 'ask hacker news' about this yesterday https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36222844 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36222844
