I would expect that we’ll end up compressing (or whatever term you would use) this at some point so many of those syntactical differences will not be as significant.

But I would love for more expressive and compact languages to do better, selfish as I am. But I think training data size is more of a factor, and we won’t be all moving up Clojure any time soon.

I can't speak to Clojure, but I will say that LLMs are actually surprisingly good at writing and understanding Julia code compared to some languages that have a much larger training corpus to pull from.
