  • With LLMs, the benefits seem to have shifted decisively to typed languages.
    • Typed languages are much easier to iterate within without breaking things.
    • The problem is that they require more effort to change things, which makes prototyping hard because humans get impatient.
    • But LLMs have infinite patience.
    • So the value of types far outweighs their cost when LLMs are the ones programming.
    • Is TypeScript the schelling point language?
    • It's ubiquitous and flexible.
