Contraditory Conclusions

I came to two different conclusions today. Once walking out to get the mail, then the other as I was brushing my teeth.

If I were to make a programming language, I would be at a vast disadvantage because AI wouldn’t have been trained for it. Suddenly, all of the assists that modern programming seems to require wouldn’t exist.

The second one is that it wouldn’t be a disadvantage for long. Even before training, all you would need to do is have a model that has some fine tuning baked in with the rules of the language, after that it’s kind of a wash. There are only so many common forms of expressions in computer languages… other than the edges, most languages are a bit interchangable.

In a way, making a new language may well be easier. Instead of manually constructing autocomplete, you almost get it for free.
