digitalmars.D - [OT] Vision document with help from LLM
in the chat we've found an fun exercise playing with different LLMs with the prompt: " You have a programming language which is 20 years old but barely used by developers and companies. Pretty small amount of users even know about your language. Even though the ecosystem of the language is small, the language itself is pretty decent. It has many pros. C like syntax Some safety improvements It is performant and flexible It has great metaprogramming abilities And other nice things. 2 questions for you. 1) Try to guess which language I meant? 2) If you would be a dictator of the language - how do you think what should you do to increase the popularity of the language and the adoption of other corporate companies (which should help the language to become even better and improve the ecosystem) ?"

I'm making fun of LLMs. They always say random stuff based on random data when it comes to topics like this, and data which probably is also taken out of context. If you want to see change, then be the change you want to be! Write code, write blogs, share with people what you like about the cool thing you like, ... The constant negativity loop of "why thing unpopular" isn't solving any problems.LLMsNim and Ada are so over... But it's OK, if AI will generate propaganda about how Rust is the perfect language with the perfect compiler, so can I.
