If a beam search, initiative plan and execute phase is more effective than having better tooling in a deterministic programming language then this will clearly take the lead.

Thanks for the link! I am not familiar with the company but reminds me of the whole formal methods debate in distributed systems. Sure, writing TLA+ specs is the 'correct' deterministic way to build a Raft implementation, but in reality everyone just writes messy Go/Java and patches bugs as they pop up because its faster.
