Programming often involves creating new languages (or APIs) (like domain specific languages) on top of lower level languages (like the base programming language you use).
Future AIs should be able to learn new languages, else they would remain pretty limited.
- awongh 2y agoRight now an AI understands a lot about the opinions of all the programmers have about how to write good Python, and enough people wrote about it on the internet that you can ask ChatGPT questions about best practices and it can come up with a coherent answer. My worry would be that a new language would not come with this knowledge. If Apple were to come out with Swift today and were to fine-tune an LLM or just put the docs / code samples / repos /PRs in context I don't think the LLM would understand as much about the language as it does about other widely talked about languages.
