I wonder if LLMs will provide a robust path from the solid symbolic computation of Mathematica to production or productionizable code. I've seen stories show up on HN about using LLMs to e.g. transform Cobol -> Java, and have my suspicions about how and where that kind of translation could fall down with today's LLMs.

Nevertheless, I assume LLM enabled translators will improve rapidly, and that a product like Mathematica could be very well suited for translating from a prototype to a robust implementation for e.g. HPC.
