I use Scala which has arguably the best compiler/type system with Cursor.
There is no world in which a compiler or tooling will save you from the absolute mayhem it can do. I’ve had it routinely try to re-implement third party libraries, modify code unrelated to what it was asked, quietly override functions etc.
It’s like a developer who is on LSD.
- Terr_ 1y agoYeah, everyone wanted a thinking machine, but the best we can do right now is a dreaming machine... And dreams don't have to make sense.
- Tainnor 1y agoI don't know Scala. I asked cursor to create a tutorial for me to learn Scala. It created two files for me, Basic.scala and Advanced.scala. The second one didn't compile and no matter how often I tried to paste the error logs into the chat, it couldn't fix the actual error and just made up something different.
- jmaker 1y agoGranted the Scala language is much more complex than Go. To produce something useful it must be capable of an equivalent of parsing the AST.
- larodi 1y agoDeveloper on LSD is likely to hallucinate less in terms of how weird the LLM hallucinations are sometimes. Besides I know people, not myself, who fare very well on LSD and particularly when micro dosing Adderal style
- miningape 1y agoMushrooms too! I find they get me into a flow state much better than acid (when microdosing).
