I don't get why Langchain is so popular. It's classic inner-platform effect: "a system so customizable as to become a replica, and often a poor replica, of the software development platform they are using."

Once we get better at getting structured output from LLMs, we can use the standard control flow mechanisms in built in to our programming languages.

Much of the popularity of langchain, AutoGPT, etc. is just due to hype and appeals to no-coders. Anyone with some knowledge of programming and LLMs sees the facade and avoids these things.
