Cursor and Claude Code were the asskicking I needed to finally get on the typescript bandwagon.

Strong typing drastically reduces hallucinations and wtf bugs that slip through code review.

So it’ll probably be the strongly typed languages that receive the proportionally greatest boost in popularity from LLM-assisted coding.

This is why I like Go for vibe programming.

goimports makes everything look the same, the compiler is a nitpicky asshole that won’t let the program even compile if there is an unused variable etc.

That is a really big advantage in the AI era. LLMs are pretty bad at identifying what is and what isn't relevant in the context.

For developers this decision is pretty annoying, but it makes sense if you are using LLMs.
