And I think this point is a poor as any made in the article.
Last I attempted to write some smaller ocaml project I used LLMs for support (but wrote myself). They generally weren’t excellent.
Honestly, types don’t help as much as people want them to. The LLM does best on popular languages, especially those whose use and feel is also mainstream.
That is to say, pick a niche language like Odin, and it may incorrectly start to over-apply Go’isms - knowledge from one language bleeds into how it approaches others.
