I don't think there is a need for an output language here at all, the LLM can read and write bits into executables directly to flip transistors on and off. The real question is how the input language (i.e. prompts) look like. There is still a need for humans to describe concepts for the machine to code into the executable, because humans are the consumers of these systems.

No, that's the problem (same misconception the author has) - it can't. At least not reliably. If you give an LLM free rein with a non-memory safe output format, it will make the exact same mistakes a human would.

The point of a verbose language is to create extensive guardrails. Which the LLM won't be annoyed by, unlike a human developer.
