alt Hacker News> As for readability, the fact that AI-written Go closely resembles human-written Go is not necessarily a point in Go’s favour.
There's just not many ways of writing Go. It's a very dull language. It was designed to be dull and easily understandable.
but there are a whole lot of ways you can mess up a dull language, like shitty variable names, bad code organization, etc.
if an llm has learned dumb things from dumb users it could disproportionately cause provlems versus other languages, just by being "in a sloppy mood" when writing go.
