This is an interesting debate. For me, the real question is: What's the goal of any language (human or programming)?

In my opinion, it's to communicate intent, so that intent can be turned into action. And guess what? LLMs are incredibly good at picking up intent through pattern matching.

So, if the goal of a language is to express intent, and LLMs often get our intent faster than a software developer, then why is English considered worse than Python? For an LLM, it's the same: just patterns.
