The fact that LLMs can kind of do it is an indictment of current programming languages and frameworks. We're coding at too low a level of abstraction. Code has too much boilerplate, too little entropy. We need a new generation of much higher level languages which would obviate much of the need for code generation. Of course, the tension there is that high-level abstractions always leak and don't work well when maximum performance and efficiency is required.
