On days like this I wish github had downvotes.

Yup. Hilarious! ...until LLMs are generating code replete with security flaws because they read this and took it seriously.
A good reason not to use those LLMs if they can be manipulated that easily.

type safety was always a guardrail for the human not the machine. humans aren’t reading code, so no need for it, ai can write everything in ASM & C, keep everything fast and economical.
Surely AI also needs guardrails?
AI needs heavy fortifications, moats and watchtowers around it.

#44I like the licensing. It's released under their own (mildly profane) license to everyone. However, there is an exception: use in the Linux kernel is governed under GPL 2.0.

But as we get LLMs to write more of our code, shouldn’t we be moving to languages like Rust, where the compiler is very strict and has lots of checks against subtle bugs? In this sense Python is the worst possible language for vibe coding, because Python allows all sorts of bad code to (mostly sorta) run.
Yes, Rust boilerplate is LLM worthy work. It was never meant for humans. The ergonomics component is absent. Unfortunately, there will be more tokens and context wasted as the LLM struggles with appeasing the compiler. Example: say a function had two string view args which are bound to a single lifetime because both args at call site had the same scope. Now you have another call site where the args have different sco…
That’s… not how any of that works.

If you want to eliminate memory issues as a class, just use a language with managed memory.

Elm is a great front end language for LLMs, its simple and safe and the entire language is in the training set and its not under active development right now so no breaking changes.
Not under active development as in issues keep piling up and there is nobody to resolve them?
The language is not actively changing.
It's done, the language is complete.
Issues piling up, Im not sure.. the compiler has only 4 unresolved issues in 2025...
Looking at the github.. they don't seem to be piling up that much.
Sometimes a programming language is well written and its done, no need to actively work on it.

Did you let the LLM horde (it and its agents) compile Rust? Is the LLM allowed to flag problems with Rust? Rinse, lather, repeat...

A truly good LLM should "understand" sarcasm and irony.
Same goes for a human and doubly so when expressed through text.

> In this sense Python is the worst possible language for vibe coding Javascript would like a word
But JS has TS
But Python is readable, it is the most readable language I've seen.
There is a reason why it is used nowadays as the first language in schools.
