> I wish they wouldn't use JS to demonstrate the AI's coding abilities - the internet is full of JS code and at this point I expect them to be good at it. Show me examples in complex (for lack of a better word) languages to impress me.
Agreed. The models break down on not even that complex of code either, if it's not web/javascript. Was playing with Gemini CLI the other day and had it try to make a simple Avalonia GUI app in C#/.NET, kept going around in circles and couldn't even get a basic starter project to build so I can imagine how much it'd struggle with OCaml or other more "obscure" languages.
This makes the tech even less useful where it'd be most helpful - on internal, legacy codebases, enterprisey stuff, stacks that don't have numerous examples on github to train from.
