Because there’s more python on the internet to interpolate from. LLMs are not equally good at all languages

You can throw Claude at a completely private Rust code base with very specific niche requirements and conventions that are not otherwise common in Rust and it will demonstrate a remarkably strong ability to explain it and program according to the local idioms. I think your statement is based on liking a popular language, not on evidence..

I find that having a code-base properly scaffolded really, really helps a model handle implementing new features or performing bug-fixes. There's this grey area between greenfield and established that I hit every time I try to take a new project to a more stable state. I'm still trying to sort out how to get through that grey area.

That’s been my experience. LLMs excel at languages that are popular. JavaScript and Python are two great examples.
