Programming has evolved toward specification rather than implementation details, with abstractions dominating modern software development. Natural language will likely form the core of future programming languages, despite concerns about ambiguity. Programs have always originated from natural language requirements through conversations and iterative refinement. LLMs enable computers to participate in these specification loops, combining natural language flexibility with symbolic reasoning for precise results when needed. This conversational, iterative approach mirrors how software has always been built, bringing programming closer to customers and expanding computing's reach.
