Fantastic repo. Love it!
Looking back, we can see how Machine Code, with its intricate and challenging nature, paved the way for more accessible options. Assembly language then emerged, providing a higher level of abstraction and reducing the complexities of directly working with machine instructions. And of course, C followed suit, offering even greater simplicity and ease of use compared to Assembly.
Imagine a future where programming languages, as we know them today, become akin to CPU instructions – a foundational and low-level primitive. LLMs will revolutionize the way we interact with code, providing a unified interface where the complexities of various languages are distilled into a common representation. The proliferation of individual programming languages will wane. Knowing Java or C++ will become a rare skill, akin to individuals specializing in low-level optimizations using Assembly language these days.
Edit: as time progresses, even the convenience of LLMs may pose challenges, given our inherent tendency towards laziness, so an additional layer of abstraction will be introduced, bridging the gap between LLMs and spoken languages. BCIs will revolutionize the act of coding itself so that individuals can seamlessly "code" by simply "thinking" about their desired actions.
