consider this: at the current pace of change we'll soon be able to say something like "Hey Gemini, please convert this entire project as close as possible to its original form but translated to Rust" and the output will be near identical but faster and type-checked. We're almost there... this *will* happen in the next ten years I think. So I suspect once humans start to leverage the models a lot more than they are now (most people are still operating on what they know), the nature of software itself will start to shift a bit. I predict a faster pace and more chaos. It's unclear as of yet whether the faster pace will win over the extra chaos (I've learned never to underestimate complexity so I really don't know). We all will be leaving in a totally different world then, with 20% chance of AI eliminating humans, in accordance to Elon Musk. So may be migrating beancount to rust will not be the most pressing issue even for this small community. On a more close future, I am waiting for the sate of AI development when we will able to ask AI to produce an updated documentation for beanquery, using original source code original documentation and updated source code as an input -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Beancount" group.
