Someone just asked the forbidden question that would make every compiler engineer have an existential crisis. If compilers turn Python into machine code, and LLMs turn English into Python, why not just... skip the middleman and write everything in assembly? Or better yet, binary?
The logic is technically sound but hilariously misses the entire point of abstraction layers. Sure, we could all write in assembly, just like we could all hunt our own food and make fire with sticks. But some of us have deadlines, sanity to preserve, and a deep appreciation for not manually managing registers for a simple "Hello World."
High-level languages exist because humans are terrible at thinking like machines, and machines are terrible at understanding human intent. The whole point is to let each layer do what it's good at. Otherwise, we'd still be toggling switches on punch cards while debugging segfaults in our sleep.
