I've only ever played around with it and not built out an app like you have, but in my experience the second you want to go off script from what the tutorials suggest, it becomes an impossible nightmare of reading source code trying to get a basic thing to work. LangChain is _the_ definition of death by abstraction.
- emporas 2y agoI have read the whole source of LangChain in Rust (there are no docs anyway), and it definitely seems over-engineering. The central premise of the project, of complicated chains of prompts is not useful to many people, and not to me either. On the other hand it took some years into the web, for some web frameworks to emerge and make sense, like Ruby on Rails. Maybe in 3-4 years time, complicated chains of commands to different A.I. engines will be so difficult to get right that a framework might make sense, and establish a set of conventions. Agents, another central feature of LangChain, are not proved to be very useful as well, for the moment.
