I am already using a bagger, while you are arguing for electric shovels.

In case you answer there don't fit the same purpose, there are tiny baggers that replace shovels altogether.

I think those arguing for structured language generation, never had that much experience with 4GLs or declarative programming on the previous AI Summer.

So like the Assembly developers required those -S compiler switches, or nowadays Compiler Explorer snippets, there is a tendency to argue for 3GL code generation, when low code/no code tools with AI runtimes are already being adopted at enterprise level.

What in the past took a bunch of developers using structured programming languages to write their frontend, and the myriad of microservices, is slowly being taken over by MCP tools, SaaS AI orchestration prompts and UI generation tooling, most of which doesn't even expose whatever code gets generated.
