This is a good point but may be moot. Our consumer-facing LLMs speak C, Python, and JavaScript.

'Decompilers' are work in the machine code direction for human consumption, they can be improved by LLMs.

Militarily, you will want machine code and JS capable systems.

Machine code capablities cover both memory leaks and firmware dumps and negate the requirement of "source" comprehension.

I wanted to +1 you but I don't think I have the karma required.

Also, smuggling a single binary out of a set of systems is likely far easier than targetting a source code repository or devbox directly.
