alt Hacker NewsEvery time I see a post like this it somehow turns into a conversation about AI. Are there any studies on this? How much better are typed languages for LLMs. I would expect the amount of data and scaling laws to have more of an effect on an LLMs coding capabilities than the language itself.
I mean, in this particular case one of the biggest pain points they’re talking about are just straight up build times. An LLM that can produce a patch in 5 minutes and then has to wait 15 minutes for a build… to then put together another 1 minute patch and wait another 15 minutes for a build… that’s not ever going to be able to compete with Python where there’s no build time at all.
