Developed by Jordan Hubbard of NVIDIA (and FreeBSD).

My understanding/experience is that LLM performance in a language scales with how well the language is represented in the training data.

From that assumption, we might expect LLMs to actually do better with an existing language for which more training code is available, even if that language is more complex and seems like it should be “harder” to understand.

Blackpill is that, for this reason, the mainstream languages we have today will be the final (human-designed) languages to be relevant on a global scale.

Eventually AIs will create their own languages. And humans will, of course, continue designing hobbyist languages for fun. But in terms of influence, there will not be another human language that takes the programming world by storm. There simply is not enough time left.
