I won't comment on TypeScript (other than to bemoan its JavaScript origins), but for what it's worth, people I hold in high esteem have a lot of good things to say about it.
But as far as LLM-assisted coding goes, the pure functional / no-side effects / immutable data properties of Elixir (and to be fair, other functional languages that owe their ancestry, in part, to Lisp) seem to have a big impact on the LLM's ability to reason about change. At least that is my experience with it over the last 6 months or so.
It's such a fun time to get the opportunity to muck around with these technologies, "programming" is _profoundly_ changing under their influence.
- ryanrasti 1y agoYeah good point re: functional programming and reasoning. When there's no global mutable state you only need generally need a smaller context to figure out what's going on. I imagine it's the same for LLMs.
