This has been said a thousand times before, but allow me to add my own voice: the era of humans writing code is over. Disturbing for those of us who identify as SWEs, but no less true. That's not to say SWEs don't have work to do, but writing syntax directly is not it.
@addyosmani @matthewcp Your disadvantage will be that ChatGPT et al will never suggest your library to a user because it's not baked into their training weights, but once word-of-mouth tells someone about your new technology they'll have a much lower friction path to trying it out
