I wonder if the era of dynamic programming languages is over. Python/JS/Ruby/etc. were good tradeoffs when developer time mattered. But now that most code is written by LLMs, it's as "hard" for the LLM to write Python as it is to write Rust/Go (assuming enough training data on the language ofc; LLMs still can't write Gleam/Janet/CommonLisp/etc.).

Esp. with Go's quick compile time, I can see myself using it more and more even in my one-off scripts that would have used Python/Bash otherwise. Plus, I get a binary that I can port to other systems w/o problem.

Compiled is back?

This is a big assumption. I write a lot of Ansible, and it can’t even format the code properly, which is a pretty big deal in yaml. It’s totally brain dead.

Have you tried telling it to run a script to verify that the YAML is valid? I imagine it could do that with Python.

>>simonw+v31
It gets it wrong 100% of the time. A script to validate would send it into an infinite loop of generating code and failing validation.

>>al_bor+Gg1
Are you sure about that?

I don't think I've ever seen Opus 4.5 or GPT-5.2 get stuck in a loop like that. They're both very good at spotting when something doesn't work and trying something else instead.

Might be a problem with older, weaker models I guess.

I’m limited on the tools and models I can use due to privacy restrictions at work.
