One thing im wondering with the LLM age we seem to be entering: is there value in picking up a language like this if theres not going to be a corpus of training data for an LLM to learn from? Id like to invest the time to learn Gleam, but I treat a language as a tool, or a means to an end. I feel like more and more I'm reaching for the tool to get the job done most easily, which are languages that LLMs seem to gel with.

I feel that was more true 1-2 years ago. These days I find Claude Code write almost as good (or as bad depending on your perspective) Elixir code as JavaScript code and there must be less Elixir code in the training data.

>>victor+E8
in my daily experience Claude Code writes better Elixir code than JS (React). Surely this has to do with the quality of the training material

Can’t confirm or deny comparison with JS but I can second that it write decent elixir

The only problem I’ve ever had was on maybe 3 total occasions it’s added a return statement, I assume because of the syntax similarity with ruby
