"Since FORTRAN should virtually eliminate coding and debugging…" -- FORTRAN report, 1954 [1]

If, as you seem to imply and as others have stated, we should no longer even look at the "generated" code, then the LLM prompts are the programs / programming language.

I can't think of a worse programming language, and I am not the only one [2]

However, it does indicate that our current programming languages are way to low-level, too verbose. Maybe we should fix that?
