JordanEvery now and then people share languages with very minimal or very uniform syntax (think Lisp, or Haskell, or Forth) and go "look, all the noise is gone". And to each their own, and familiarity goes a long way, but I think I've pinned down my feelings about it, which is "that wasn't noise, that was signal; I was using as scaffolding when reading the code and now I have to wade through every token linearly".

I encounter issues generating the most simple bash code because an LLM seems not to care on quoting or escaping quotes correctly. In bash it's probably worse because there is no difference between opening and closing quotes
