    What is the purpose of these kind of experiments if not for artistic purposes in the new age of AI?

      1. Teal has been around since before LLMs were good at coding [0].

      2. I don't see anything wrong with coding for purely artistic purposes?

      3. Presumably a static type checker would be quite helpful for LLMs, since it would help them catch lots of their mistakes.

      What is the purpose of gcc in the new age of AI? Can't you ask your agent to build a compiler if you want to run Hello World?

      I agree with this sentiment.

      LLMs are already so incredibly capable and will only get better and faster with time.

      Learning a new programming language just feels redundant now.

      Teal isn't particularly new. First commit is Jan 2019

      Programming languages are useful?
