#12Current AI is most proficient in java-script and python because of the vast training data. But in the long-run, i feel like languages with good static analysis, static type checks, clear language rules, memory leak detection, fuzzing, test oriented code, and any number of other similar tooling is gonna be the true game-changer. Directed learning using this tooling could improve the models beyond their training set, o…
I was more optimistic before bur if 95% of the all software is written by these two languages, it will be very hard for any (better) alternative to disrupt them.
The only way will likely to make better profiling & debugging tools to help maintain existing codebase.

#13This is an interesting idea but you might be better off marketing it as a tool for software engineers, maybe to help with old code bases. Or even for someone stuck cleaning up vibe coded nonsense. Vibe coders don't care about quality and wouldn't understand why any of these things are a problem in the first place.
Vibe coders do care about quality, at least the ones that try to ship and get burned by a mountain of tech debt. People aren't as stupid and one dimensional as you assume.

#14This is pretty awesome! If it's built on tree-sitter, is it fair to assume it's generalizable across languages?

Great point! Golang is indeed one of those languages with strong "vibe coding resistance" - it's personally one of my favorites for that reason.
On the flip side, I think there's a future where tools like pyscn work alongside AI to make languages with large communities like Python even more dominant.

#16Very cool! I've never seen a cli that opens an html file when it's finished. I kinda like it, hope to see more of that in the future

#17This is great! Is there something similar for Typescript?

I'm actually more optimistic. While Python/JS have huge ecosystems, there are still things only Go/Rust can achieve.

Curious why you say this. It says in the readme it can do 100K lines per second.
