Yeah, rather than Roman’s argument feeling to me like a reason not to use Squiggle, this feels more like a reason for Squiggle to incorporate some python behind the scenes.
I think the target audience of squiggle is people who aren’t comfortable with complex code, but who are comfortable with probabilistic thinking.
Seems like having a set of structured queries for LLMs, plus the custom squiggle code, plus allowing the models to improvise python and JS code… Could be a powerful tool that would be much easier for most people to use.
