Unfortunately Julia is now a vibe coded project where Claude has moved to the #1 spot for Jun-Aug 2026.

Of course their sponsors demand it. So it is in the same place as Ruby: interesting but out of the question.

nobody "demanded" anything. it's just the most productive way to write code these days. the same is true at the vast majority of software companies (that can afford the $$ on tokens) as well.

Wait, code of the programming language is now vibe coded?

no.

No I don’t know how he gets that info. Most contributions to the language these days are AI assisted, but that’s a completely different matter. IMO if you can afford AI assistance, it would be irresponsible to not use it, given how good AIs are st bug finding and code review

shame!

What's with all the throwaway snide comment accounts?

They are green too, which means they were just made today. That's a pretty nice HN feature! It shows that there's literally 5 adversarial green sock puppet accounts that were made just to comment in this thread, so almost certainly one person with a grudge who is afraid to make a non-anonymous argument on the merits.
