People do care.

Sooner or later humans will have to work with the code - if only for their own self-preservation.

If that's not the use case, there's no legitimate use case at all.

We want that to be true, but it's starting to look like it might not be.
I might have misinterpreted what the submitted link is offering then. I thought this was some "secure" sandboxing thing where agents can write ephemeral scripts as tool calls to take arbitrary actions. No human will be looking at that. It's not checked into a repo and is not maintained.
One-off throwaway scripts can be written in literally anything. It does not matter.
