So of course great kudos to the developers of Cursor, Antigravity, Windsurf, OpenCode and all the other editors. I’m personally using Cursor daily. But already for many months, I have been frustrated why they still operate on the level of lines of code. That seems so “last millennium” to me. Now that we have all these amazing data structures in computing, why are we not doing anything with them? Why are coding editors still working on the level of text instead of syntax trees? Or even more abstractly, couldn’t they work on the level of a cross-language notation?

I see a major contradiction here. You want to keep elite, high-standard tracks (like medicine) separate, but also want everyone to mix to create "synergy."
That just recreates the exact same two-class system inside the university. The "academics" and the "open access" crowd will stay in their separate bubbles, defeating the entire purpose of the proposal.
That's a good point, I will fix that, thanks so much!
The problem is LLMs are still non deterministic so they cannot maintain persistent state reliably and guarantee reproducibility.
I don't get that argument at all. The LLM could just be an assistant to generate Helm charts or stuff like that. Of course a human could manually check it then, before it's deployed. I just find it so weird that LLMs are already pretty good at generating regular programming code, but generating IaC (Infrastructure-as-Code) code is still so underdeveloped.
