LLMs in software development
The relationship between natural language and programming is undergoing a significant transformation. Traditional programming languages remain essential in software development—C++ and Rust for performance-critical applications, Java and C# for enterprise systems, and Python for rapid development, data analysis, and ML workflows. However, natural language, particularly English, now serves as a powerful interface to streamline software development and data science tasks, complementing rather than replacing these specialized programming tools.
Advanced AI assistants let you build software by simply staying “in the vibe” of what you want, without ever writing or even picturing a line of code. This style of development, known as vibe coding, was popularized by Andrej Karpathy in early 2025. Instead of framing tasks in programming terms or wrestling with syntax, you describe desired behaviors, user flows or outcomes in plain conversation...
