    Could frontier AI models design TypeScript, not just rewrite it?

    A post asks whether frontier models could match the discovery and judgment behind TypeScript’s design, beyond rewriting it.

    TLDR

    A post calls it uncontroversial that frontier models can rewrite TypeScript in another language. It asks whether they could also design the language itself—not just the idea, but the details that made it great—and how they could reach that level of discovery and judgment.

    Charlie Marsh@charliermarshIt's uncontroversial that frontier models can rewrite TypeScript in another language. But could a frontier model _design_ TypeScript? Not just the idea of it, but all the details that made it great. How do we get to that same level of discovery and judgement?1h
    Edward Z. Yang@ezyang@charliermarsh One of the problems is many languages have already been created! So a new language must stake out another spot in the tradeoff space. But how to select this spot? Not easily compressible to a short prompt!1h
