This always felt like a reason to throw it at coding. With its rigid syntax you'll know quickly and cheaply if what was written passes an absolute minimaal level of quality.
- eru 7mo agoWell, rigid syntax, type checkers, automated tests, etc. They all help.
- travisgriggs 7mo agoHas this been shown to be true? Or just anecdotal?
- eru 7mo agoAnecdotal from my own experience. But someone might have done a study by now: they are much cheaper and quicker to run on AIs than on undergrad students (yet alone professional devs). Also pre-AI: when I set up nice property tests, I could develop much better even while a bit tired.
