They’re typically, fairly young, fresh out of school, probably learned Java, maybe learned C or C++, probably learned Python. They’re not capable of understanding a brilliant language but we want to use them to build good software. So, the language that we give them has to be easy for them to understand and easy to adopt." – Rob Pike This fits LLMs pretty well too it seems!
- dpe82 1y agoThat's my assumption too: it's a simple language with very good tooling that's used by reasonably serious projects with good code quality. As a result the LLMs have both high quality training data and the output is easier to get right.
