The proposition coding assistants like Copilot and Sourcegraph make, is that they can help in writing code for every programming language, and speed up a lot the process of software development. While this is true, i consider as a lot more relevant discussion, to talk about the end of software development [1]. The end, as in 98% percent will get automated very soon.
Every time i try to generate Rust code, all LLMs perform very good, while by trying to generate untyped code like Scheme, all of them perform okey-ish at best.
Better data can be produced for LLMs, like cargo-public-api to teach the machine about the api exposed and afterwards the code, as well as cargo-modules to teach the machine about the hierarchy of modules and only afterwards the code and so on.
Tricks like that, also mixture of experts architecture for LLMs to second think their response, will put an end to the coding soon. My point is, that coding assistants will not exist soon, because coding will be a thing of the past.
