I wonder if creating code snippets is missing the point. I've just imagined a future in which programmers create lambda-style functions that are essentially GPT prompts and pipe them to process data. As a programmer, you would essentially write tests to ensure prompts are working as expected.

Maybe this is the ultimate no-code programming environment: a fleet of cells, each one containing one prompt, parsing and storing data.

From what I can tell, no one has figured out how to manage user-input into an AI. Users seem to be able to circumvent the original owners intentions. As long as this remains a problem I think it will need to be compiled.
Maybe you do not even need to write tests: they are just additional cells with prompts aimed at generating fuzzy testing against logic cells.
