I'd laugh, but LLMs actually made me begin to reconsider my dismissal of JavaScript and Python. They're still annoying, and the wider ecosystem is a disaster, but for the first time ever, I see personal value in working with the most popular tools: their popularity means that they're what LLMs work best with. So if I'm going to involve GPT-4 in some coding, I'm better off using JS or Python than asking for e.g. Lisp.
