Maybe it was because LLMs were trained most on Python code, but yes they seem to prefer it.
The choices of JS and Python were pretty solid for the prompts I gave. Maybe the LLM is, well, making a reasonable decision in context, rather than just defaulting to Python!
"LLMs prefer Python" is an over-simplification. Python was already very popular, so I agree that LLMs are likely to entrench that popularity, but that doesn't mean Python will grow into other areas where it wasn't being used much before.
Of course it is an over-simplification. Should I do an empirical scientific study before I can reply that MAYBE LLMs seem to prefer Python? I was talking from my own personal experience.
Are you using a LLM to write your replies? Because they seem very odd to me.
I didn't use any LLMs for those comments, but that comment style feeds into the training data, so it's not surprising if LLMs like to copy it!
