Hi All,
I have a feeling that I am probably learning to program a little too late in the day, because LLMs seem to be remarkably good at doing anything that I ask of them, which makes it seem pointless to actually remember specifics associated with the syntax.
To be clear, I am happy putting in the hours, but I suspect that we are not far from getting to the point where natural languages will be the dominant input for computer programs, which means I might do well with just understanding and getting used to data structures and other applications of programming rather than focus on syntax itself.
In this context, any perspectives from you guys would be helpful, in terms of what to focus on when learning to use Python , R, Julia, and Wolfram Mathematica, as these are the languages/tools that I'm expected to get reasonably good at, as part of my degree requirements.
Thanks
