Gleam has caught my eye for the past year or so, and I'd totally learn it if I didn't believe firmly that we won't be coding by hand within the next 9 months. It'll all be done by LLMs so syntax and ergonomics won't mean too much. At least as soon as LLMs learn to stop being turbo-slop generators.

- echelon 1y ago> if I didn't believe firmly that we won't be coding by hand within the next 9 months. LLM-assisted coding is awesome, but it feels like a self-driving style problem. It's going to take 20 years to get there.
- a3w 1y agoDoe LLMs write valid Gleam programs? Trying with ChatGPT three years ago, it did not. Workarounds, like "here is the syntax as a system prompt", put into the prompt I would not consider understanding, as Gleam idioms and patterns will certainly not all fit.
- perrygeo 1y agoThe entire Gleam language tour (https://tour.gleam.run/everything/ https://tour.gleam.run/everything/) is comprehensive. It contains examples of every language feature and prints to less than 70 pages - easily fits into the context window of any recent LLM.
- adastra22 1y agoGP is crazy, but if you are basing your view of what LLMs can do based on ChatGPT 3 years ago, that is just as much out of touch.
- IshKebab 1y ago9 months? I mean... 9 years maybe. There's absolutely no way we won't be coding by hand in 9 months, unless the only thing you do is landing pages and CRUD forms.
- arcanemachiner 1y agoNever underestimate the ability of the software industry to shit in its own mouth.
- sgt 1y agoNot even 9 years, I'm thinking 30-40 years.
