>> most developers today don’t pay much attention to the instruction sets and other hardware idiosyncrasies of the CPUs that their code runs on, which language a program is vibe coded in ultimately becomes a minor detail.
If it was even slightly true then we wouldn’t be generating language syntax at all, we’d be generating raw machine code for the chip architectures we want to support. Or even just distributing the prompts and letting an AI VM generate the target machine code later.
That may well happen one day, but we’re not even close right now
Also there’s so much patching in the kernel (for unix) to solve hardware bugs. And a lot of languages depends on C (with all its footguns) to probide that stable foundation. It’s all unseen work that are very important.
