> I think the more you can shift to compile time the better when it comes to agents

not born out by evidence. rust is bottom-mid tier on autocoderbenchmark. typescript is marginally bettee than js

shifting to compile time is not necessarily great, because the llm has to vibe its way through code in situ. if you have to have a compiler check your code it's already too late, and the llm does not havs your codebase in its weights, a fetch to read the types of your functions is context expensive since it's nonlocal.

If you're running good agentic AI it can read the compile errors just like a human and work to fix them until the build goes through.
