Yup. Hilarious! ...until LLMs are generating code replete with security flaws because they read this and took it seriously.
So just like they currently do with Stackoverflow?

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.
We should be moving to actually safe languages. Not just safer languages

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.
That's... suspiciously terse.

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.
Assuming your editor is using tabs as spaces and preserving whitespace appropriately, for varying definitions of "readable".

What language would you recommend? Or if none qualify what do you think is missing?

Make Humans Employable Again

In some environments this is a hard requirement, and will be hard to break. Places where the code is know to have big impact / blast radius and can’t be wrong. In other environments (most startups founded in the last six months) no human is ever reading any of the code. It’s kinda terrifying but I think it’s where we are going. And here I would argue having strict compilers is way more important.
That's fascinating and insane. Rust will help, but I can't see that working well. In my experience LLMs (even Claude) need quite a bit of handholding.
Perhaps people will move to stricter programming languages try to counter the slop issues
