minded of the terms, or fancy an explanation of what they mean? all of them implicitly state that if you're unhappy with the terms you're very welcome to walk away. hopefully, no brain surgery required for you, god forbid. just an open mind, in methaphorical sense, healthy sense of humour and common sense that the less you type the more you think. you are also welcome to share examples of code which tickle your sense of beauty, authored by you or someone else. now, stand straight and defend your argument. we're all ears.

own selfish reasons, i always chose the former, and it seems to perform better than the latter, proof: https://github.com/kparc/ksimple https://github.com/kparc/kcc still, neither approach is anywhere near the chances of successfuly explaining which way to write python code to a 5yo kid, especially its precedence rules, which are much more intuitive (lol). to explain the same thing to an LLM is not much different, really. all you need to do is to depress your 0yo kid with an obscene amount of _quality_ python code, of which there is no shortage. obviously, the more python code is fed to LLMs, the more humans will paste more LLM-generated python code, to be fed back to LLMs, ad lemniscate. (and don't mind the future tense, we are already there) ============ so this is why LLMs can't write k/q/apl. first, they haven't seen enough of it. second, they are helpless to understand the meaning of a quote which was once chosen to helm a book known as SICP, not to mention countless human counterparts who came across it earlier, to the same effect: "I think that it's extraordinarily important that we in computer science keep fun in computing. When it started out it was an awful lot of fun. Of course the paying customers got shafted every now and then and after a while we began to take their complaints seriously. We began to feel as if we really were responsible for the successful error-free perfect use of these machines. I don’t think we are. I think we're responsible for stretching them setting them off in new directions and keeping fun in the house. I hope the field of computer science never loses its sense of fun. Above all I hope we don’t become missionaries. Don't feel as if you're Bible salesmen. The world has too many of those already. What you know about computing other people will learn. Don’t feel as if the key to successful computing is only in your hands. What's in your hands I think and hope is intelligence: the ability to see the machine as more than when you were first led up to it that you can make it more." ― Alan J. Perlis
