> how soon before we start designing codebases for LLM agents to navigate more cleanly? flat structures, less indirection, more declarative metadata

This is something that I have been mulling over since I heard reports that LLMs work very well with languages like Go (explicit static typing, simple syntax, only 1 way to do things...)

Seems like with humans, the less we have to worry about the incidental complexity imposed by the tools we are using (language, framework, lib...) the more brain bandwidth we have available to use to solve a problem with code.

I think we might see rising popularity of languages that give you more tools to make illegal state unrepresentable. While it is great that there is so much python/js code that a LLM knows to avoid wide stretches of wrong terrain, but who cares if you can just use a language that makes that impossible in the first place.

Maybe something like https://flix.dev/ with many analyzers.
