As AI programming tools improve, we will have the second coming from what 4 GLs, RUP, CASE tools, and Japan's Fifth Generation Computer Systems were trying to achieve, each on its own way as the next evolution on programming abstractions.
Absolutely agree. I’d take a guess that a decent chunk, if not majority of “business” applications probably still exist in either Django or Spring Boot. Should all of those be rewritten now “just ‘cause”?
Call it "vibe coding by tiller". Ha.
Also, I think of metalinguistic abstraction as something deeper than macros. At least not limited to macros:
"An important advantage of making the evaluator accessible as a Lisp program is that we can implement alternative evaluation rules by describing these as modifications to the evaluator program."
The answer is "yes". Obviously people still care. No need to resurrect a dead bad post.
Meanwhile, behnamoh's post was essentially dismissing the idea that we should discuss non-AI topics in the age of AI. His mention of his hobby project doesn't redeem a garbage comment.
