What are some concise languages that are well received by humans (on par with Python)? Token efficiency might be a marked advantage.

Clojure comes to mind at least.

This article claims that Clojure is the most token efficient language.

So I can fix it when it breaks. I don’t understand anyone shipping real code without human review.

Give it 2 years, the ‘Blame the AI ‘ incidents will increase. Like an unfaithful partner you’ll always return to it

If AI writes your code, why fuss about the language it writes in?

for me the answer is libraries: most of these other languages don't have the libraries that Javascript has. it would not be an efficient use of my time, tokens , etc to rewrite in rust et al

Python is incredibly readable too. I can scan through LLM Python changes in minutes instead of hours of other languages.

Typescript with strict types and ultra-tight eslint config can give Rust a run for its money.

tldr 2% average point lost on Rust compared to python, gap vary by model, go has a better upper bound but opus had it 3% below python.

benchmark is a bit old but research on why is there, article is just vibes

"The Python ecosystem is increasingly a Rust ecosystem wearing a Python hat"

If anything this is a reason to keep using Python.

Is there a blocker that would prevent future AI to write perfect assembler (for n architectures) in 1st pass?
