I’m still seeing a decent number of people on Twitter complain occasionally that they’ve tried AI-driven coding workflows and the output is crap and they can move faster by themselves. There’s less of these people in the world of Opus 4.5 and Gemini 3 now, but they’re still there. Every time I see this I want to know what they’re working on and what languages and libraries they’re using. Turns out that models kind of universally suck at Python and Javascript. The top performing languages (independent of model) are C#, Racket, Kotlin, and standing at #1 is Elixir.

How do I feel, about all the code I wrote that was ingested by LLMs? I feel great to be part of that, because I see this as a continuation of what I tried to do all my life: democratizing code, systems, knowledge. LLMs are going to help us to write better software, faster, and will allow small teams to have a chance to compete with bigger companies. The same thing open source software did in the 90s.
