Sure, but if you remove human facing programming languages from the equation - which are diverse and messy due to human understanding and varied preferences - then the intermediate language that the LLM generates would be much smaller and simpler to "understand" and produce.
Public code could be converted into this intermediate language to train the LLM so it has examples of human intent -> AST.
I don't think this could eliminate programming languages, but my position is that a large percentage of development work today is not very unique at all: it's the same patterns being done over and over by different people in different (or in many cases, the same) way. We could solve this problem without LLMs, but we never will because the will is not there.
