I know it's a bit of trope to say this on HN... but why not Lisp?

If I make the assumption that future ML code will be written by ML algorithms (or at least 'transpiled' from natural language), and Lisp S-Expressions are basically the AST, it would make sense that it would be the most natural language for a machine to write in. As a side benefit, it's already the standard to have a very feature complete REPL, so as a replacement for Python it seems it would fit well

Yann LeCun and others created https://lush.sourceforge.net, which was a Lisp for ML.

It was probably the best option during the 2000s, and only superseded when Theano (Python) and Torch (Lua) emerged.

A Lisp comeback in this niche would be great. Python has fantastic libraries, but the language leaves a lot to be desired.

LLMs have trouble counting parentheses accurately. ;)

We need a lisp that is written in JSON. That should fix it

It would REBOLutionize everything.

First version of Torch was in LISP. Python is where people are, and in turn a data for LLMs.

Optimal ML lang is half-way from LISP to APL.

Because it got burned in the last AI hype cycle, and many devs still think Emacs + SBCL is the only way, never even bothered to open the websites of LispWorks, Allegro Common Lisp or Clozure (not the JVM one).
