Yes the title is sensationalist. The real question in the body of the article is "What's the ideal programming language for LLMs to output?" I thought that question was interesting and I'd already posted a 'ask hacker news' about this yesterday https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36222844

Anyone who doesn't know, this is by Chris Lattner the famous hacker who made projects like LLVM, Clang, Swift. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Lattner He is writing this as part of a marketing blitz for his new platform Mojo https://www.modular.com/mojo If you want to see more, he did a long interview with lex fridman recently as part of the same marketing blitz https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pdJQ8iVTwj8

maybe dang will put this into the recirculation queue and retitle it something like 'chris lattner writes blogpost' it will go to number one place on hacker news
