We built LLMs so that you can express your ideas in English and no longer need to code. Also, English is really too verbose and imprecise for coding, so we developed a programming language you can use instead. Now, this gives me a business idea: are you tired of using CodeSpeak? Just explain your idea to our product in English and we'll generate CodeSpeak for you.

#13So for example, if you refactor a program, make the LLM do anything but keep the logic of the program intact.

#16I know dark mode is really popular with the youngens but I regularly have to reach for reader mode for dark web pages, or else I simply cannot stand reading the contents.
Unfortunately, this site does not have an obvious way of reading it black-on-white, short of looking at the HTML source (CTRL+U), which - in fact - I sometimes do.

#17Getting so close to the idea. We will only have Englishscripts and don’t need code anymore. No compiling. No vibe coding. No coding. Https://jperla.com/blog/claude-electron-not-claudevm

#19* This isn't a language, it's some tooling to map specs to code and re-generate
* Models aren't deterministic - every time you would try to re-apply you'd likely get different output (without feeding the current code into the re-apply and let it just recommend changes)
* Models are evolving rapidly, this months flavour of Codex/Sonnet/etc would very likely generate different code from last months
* Text specifications are always under-specified, lossy and tend to gloss over a huge amount of details that the code has to make concrete - this is fine in a small example, but in a larger code base?
* Every non-trivial codebase would be made up of of hundreds of specs that interact and influence each other - very hard (and context - heavy) to read all specs that impact functionality and keep it coherent
I do think there are opportunities in this space, but what I'd like to see is:
* write text specifications
* model transforms text into a *formal* specification
* then the formal spec is translated into code which can be verified against the spec
2 and three could be merged into one if there were practical/popular languages that also support verification, in the vain of ADA/Spark.
But you can also get there by generating tests from the formal specification that validate the implementation.
