> But it could be that different programming languages are a bit like different human languages for these models: when they have more than some threshold of training data, they can express their general problem solving skills in any of them? And then it's down to how much the compiler and linters can yell at them.

I think this is exactly right.

Exactly my opinion - I think the more you lock down the "search space" by providing strong and opinionated tooling, the more LLMs perform well. I think of it as starting something like a simulated annealing trying to get a correct solution, versus the same simulated annealing run while using heuristics and bounds to narrow the solution space
