I couldn't agree more. Popularity matters because of training data availability, not that a language is pleasant to write. It means Python probably still has a long life ahead of it, but newcomers have a much higher barrier to entry.

I'm not sure I agree, there was an interesting result where reading the game instructions drastically reduced training effort.

It seems quite plausible that a well written language spec and fewer examples will give the model enough to work with.

One still needs libraries and APIs.
The ecosystem matters.

That could be queried by the LLM as needed. Tons of work has been done on giving LLMs long term memory

I wouldn't really call that long term memory, we don't consider stuff we look up to be in our long term memory.

Could not those libraries and ecosystem projects be developed by the LLM?
It could be a great way to build out rapidly with low cost, especially if you can get a mapping from another, broader language, to your own.

I don't think it will ever be possible below reaching some form of AGI.
But even if it were, it's more about design and not sure that a machine will have the same empathy towards a human cognitive shortcomings.
