What’s so special about Java/JVM solutions? What is for example the Go ecosystem missing in comparison?

Mostly 30 years of people writing code.

Which LLMs?

Switching between LLMs takes all of 30 seconds - there will be no hesitation to adopt whichever LLM is performing the best.

I swear a lot in my chats with Claude..

You would be very, very surprised

Yeah, seen some downright facepalm moves from execs regarding AI and security.

Don't even need to involve AI or security to be able to highlight some very strange decisions that seem more like intentional sabotage from the inside than anything else. Of course, people are more likely just dumb and lack long-term thinking.

Hot damn - is that the floor of what you consider useful?

ML

Data tooling

Talent pool

Libraries for customers

Brownfield codebases

Academics

I can keep going…


People no can Rust so people no use Rust. Simple as.


I’m so happy with switching all my dev over to rust since AI coding. Everyone is lighting fast and super reliable

Are you describing finetuning?


We should all go back to writing assembly


No we should write one of the many modern programming languages that handle certain projects way better, including kotlin, go, or Java. The only things python is best in class at are scripting and as a harness for high performance c++ or fortran.


What about the projects that python handles better?


I mentioned those explicitly. People are still using it as a backend language for projects like huge SaaS deployments though, with the hypothesis being that dev time is expensive. With modern languages like kotlin and go, I think that gap is much too narrow to justify using a slow and badly designed language with good syntax.


> X is a terrible language because of the lack of static analysis available.

> (Mocking) Yes, that's why we should go back to Y with even worse static analysis.

Sure
