enormous barrier to the adoption of new programming languages, because no new code will be written in them, therefore LLMs will never learn to write the codeLet’s see.
I’ve vibe-coded some apps with TypeScript and react, not knowing react at all, because I thought it’s the most exemplified framework online.
But I came to a point where my app was too buggy and diverged, and being unable to debug it, I refactored it to Vue, since I personally know it better.
My point is that just because there’s more training data, the quietly is not necessarily excellent; I ended up with a mixture of conflicting idioms seasoned react developers would have frowned upon.
Picking a less exemplified language and supplementing with more of your knowledge of the language might yield better results. E.g. while the AI can’t write better Rust on its own, I don’t mind contributing with Rust code myself more often.
