> Exposing each of these layers as structured text documents
If we take it far enough, we could end up with a well structured syntax with a defined vocabulary for specifying what the computer should do that is rigorously followed in the implemented code. You could think of it as some kind of a ... language for .... programming the computer. Mind blowing.
I get you are being sarcastic, but lets actually consider your idea more broadly.
- Machine code
- Assembly code
- LLVM
- C code (high level)
- VM IR (byte code)
- VHLL (e.g. Python/Javascript/etc)
So, we already have hierarchical stacks of structured text. The fact that we are extending this to higher tiers is in some sense inevitable. Instead of snark, we could genuinely explore this phenomenon.
LLMs are allowing us to extend this pattern to domains other than specifying instructions to processors.
