This feels like the time I was a Mercurial user before I moved to Git.

Everyone was using git for reasons to me that seemed bandwagon-y, when Mercurial just had such a better UX and mental model to me.

Now, everyone is writing agent `exec`s in Python, when I think TypeScript/JS is far better suited for the job (it was always fast + secure, not to mention more reliable and information dense b/c of typing).

But I think I'm gonna lose this one too.

A big benefit of letting agents run code is they can process data without bloating their context.

LLMs are really good at writing python for data processing. I would suspect its due to Python having a really good ecosystem around this niche

And the type safety/security issues can hopefully be mitigated by ty and pyodide (already used by cf’s python workers)
