    “I’d like the best programming language! Look at what people like about Rust, Mojo and Zig and come up with specs for it!

    Oh don’t forget we need to think of the future… Make sure we can run on GPUs.

    Try not to sound too LLMy.

    Don’t mess up.”

    I wish you luck I guess

      I have come slowly to the view that LLMs are very good at this kind of thing and we can use them very productively. I’m tempted to say that this is optimal human+LLM collaboration.

        Are you not biased having created another PL in a similar fashion?

        This is collaboration in the same fashion as a group project in school. One kid never shows up or does any work and expects to put their name on it.

        It’s hard to take you all seriously when your first instinct is to pop open an llm to even name your project. I mean c’mon that’s the funnest part!
