Don't Force Your LLM to Write Terse [Q/Kdb] Code: An Information Theory Argument

I think that there are a few critical issues that are not being considered:

* LLMs don't understand the syntax of q (or any other programming language).

* LLMs don't understand the semantics of q (or any other programming language).

* Limited training data, as compared to kanguages like Python or javascript.

All of the above contribute to the failure modes when applying LLMs to the generation or "understanding" of source code in any programming language.
