This reminds me of this Bjarne Stroustrup's Rule (creator of C++): - For new features, people insist on loud, explicit syntax. - For established features, people want terse notation

Hillel Wayne [1] argues that the same applies for the differences between what beginners and experts desire from a language: Beginners need explicit syntax, experts want terse syntax.

In my mind, DSLs are related to that – a short notation to avoid repetition. And LLMs are the experts.

I wonder if Lisp with its powerful DSL-creating macros will enjoy more popularity in the near future.
