I guess you could just write the program in Python, then have ChatGPT automatically translate it into a strongly-typed language.

  What is ChatGPT written in? Because it would be hilarious if ChatGPT was itself written in Python.

    I have no inside knowledge. But given the performance and scale chatgpt runs at (and the caliber of the team), I think it’s safe to assume a lot of their production code is written in C++ / cuda.

      Python is really popular for both training and inference, and in both cases it uses native-compiled libs under the hood to ameliorate performance problems. I mean, maybe they’re chasing the last few % now, but it looks to me like most of their R&D is focused on their models and their interactive capabilities.

  That misses the primary reasons many people use Python: the ecosystem and network effects. I would not use Python if it weren't the only language my colleagues know (many of them not computer scientists by training) and if it didn't have the best (or second/third best) libraries for almost everything.
