Yeah.

You know, I think they're largely irrelevant today.

And, you know, this is like a, this is a spicy thing because if you talk to different engineers, they're going to have all sorts of views.

And I don't necessarily know what's the right view.

You know, as an engineer, I think about everything as kind of pros and cons.

To me, I'm a big languages nerd.

I love programming languages.

I love type systems.

I actually like wrote a book about a language that I really like.

But increasingly with LLMs, I think it matters less and less because the LM doesn't really care.

And there's some things about a language that helps a bit.

So if the language is really efficient, if it's type checked and it has a good static analysis, then this helps the model generate better code.

As the model gets more sophisticated, this actually matters less.

Because even if the model is writing just raw assembly, it can probably just do it really well the first shot.

And that'll only get better over time.

You know, I think that with Claude, what is happening is there's an explosion in innovation.

And we're seeing this on the business side with all sorts of new startups.

Like, again, one of these Y Combinator talks, there's a startup that was using Claude to discover new materials.

Like material discovery.

Material science.
