So Java, which powers a sizeable chunk of the real-world since two decades now, without needing the help of LLMish sloppy-pasta, is going to continue to power the Real World [TM] with its language and JVM that have been created with tens of millions of human man-hours without LLMish sloppy-pasta? I'm shocked. I'm not only shocked: I also see there a delicious irony in the countless of LLMish sloppy-pasta code that's now running and going to be run on man-made JVMs.

> countless of LLMish sloppy-pasta code that's now running and going to be run on man-made JVMs. Don’t worry, I think most LLMs, when starting a greenfield codebase, don’t reach for Java, so it may be a smaller amount of code affected than you feared.

  If you asked the LLM to create an Android app it probably would.

    Kotlin my dude, unless you hate yourself.

    Interesting idea, so I had to check! Prompt: “Top language pick for an Android app? Respond with only the language.” Responses (admittedly via the aichat CLI, not an agent harness; and temp=0): Kimi K3: Kotlin GPT 5.6 Sol: Kotlin Claude Fable 5: Kotlin DeepSeek v4 Flash 0731: Kotlin Are there any other “inherently” heavily JVM-biased domains? I think even in Minecraft game mods Kotlin is possible nowadays…

Closer to three decades than two.
