LISP has been around since 1959. To the point: the proclaimed advantage of operating at new levels of "abstraction" is not a novel contribution of LLMs to coding.
Put another way: live coding, meta programming, high level abstraction, all have been possible for some 60 years now. Two generations! We don't need the monstrous amounts of accidental complexity involved in running dozens of GB in RAM for LLMs and all the "harness" apparatus, we have had from the right tooling for almost a century (!) now.
