#381 โ€“ Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

It's not that def is Python and fn is Mojo.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#381 โ€“ Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

Mojo has both, and it loves both, right?

Lex Fridman Podcast
#381 โ€“ Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

It really depends on... Python is just strict.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#381 โ€“ Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

Yeah, exactly.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#381 โ€“ Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

Are you playing around and scripting something out, and is it a one-off throwaway script?

Lex Fridman Podcast
#381 โ€“ Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

Cool.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#381 โ€“ Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

Python is great at that.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#381 โ€“ Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

Okay, well, so... Control.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#381 โ€“ Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

suffering right yes go hand in hand how many how many pull-ups i've lost count at this yeah exactly at this point so so and that's cool i love you for that yeah some and i love other people who like strict things right but but i don't want to say that that's the right thing because python's also very beautiful for hacking around and doing stuff and research and these other cases where you may not want that you see i just feel like

Lex Fridman Podcast
#381 โ€“ Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

Well, so, I mean, it's... Again, lessons learned in looking at the ecosystem.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#381 โ€“ Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

It's really...

Lex Fridman Podcast
#381 โ€“ Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

I mean, I think it's, if you study some of these languages over time, like the Ruby community, for example, now Ruby is a pretty well-developed, pretty established community, but along their path, they really invested in unit testing.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#381 โ€“ Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

So I think that the Ruby community has really pushed forward the state of the art of testing because they didn't have a type system that caught a lot of bugs at compile time.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#381 โ€“ Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

And so you can have the best of both worlds.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#381 โ€“ Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

You can have good testing and good types and things like this.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#381 โ€“ Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

But I thought that it was really interesting to see how certain challenges get solved.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#381 โ€“ Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

And in Python, for example,

Lex Fridman Podcast
#381 โ€“ Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

the interactive notebook kind of experiences and stuff like this are really amazing.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#381 โ€“ Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

And if you typo something, it doesn't matter.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#381 โ€“ Chris Lattner: Future of Programming and AI

It just tells you it's fine.
