I think there is a big difference between an abstraction layer that can improve -- one where you maybe write "code" in prompts and then have a compiler build through real code, allowing that compiler to get better over time -- and an interactive tool that locks bad decisions autocompleted today into both your codebase and your brain, involving you still working at the lower layer but getting low quality "help" in your editor. I am totally pro- compilers and high-level languages, but I think the idea of writing assembly with the help of a partial compiler where you kind of write stuff and then copy/paste the result into your assembly file with some munging to fix issues is dumb.

By all means, though: if someone gets us to the point where the "code" I am checking in is a bunch of English -- for which I will likely need a law degree in addition to an engineering background to not get evil genie with a cursed paw results from it trying to figure out what I must have meant from what I said :/ -- I will think that's pretty cool and will actually be a new layer of abstraction in the same class as compiler... and like, if at that point I don't use it, it will only be because I think it is somehow dangerous to humanity itself (and even then I will admit that it is probably more effective)... but we aren't there yet and "we're on the way there" doesn't count anywhere near as much as people often want it to ;P.
