Contrary to what most comments seem to indicate, my takeaway from this is that it doesn't really matter all that much for the agents what language you pick. If humans are still to be involved in the process at some point, then its imperative that the language can be read by them, so the preference or skills of the developer(s) are of primary concern, not the agent.
- ComputerPerson 2mo agoSimilarly contrary: I don't know why people aren't talking more about Python. Am I interpretting the final vs. graph incorrectly? I've got some education in materials engineering; it'd be trivial to drop a curve (line) for optimizing the language selection, and Python obviously comes out on top. The author doesn't even mention it. That discredits the whole article as far as I'm concerned.
- brabel 2mo agoYou are the one cherry picking perhaps the first two charts. Look at the various metrics at the end in the Zstd vs Pandoc charts. There is just no clear advantage for Python across those metrics which are the one you really want to know about! If anything F# seems like a better top of the line language?!
- ComputerPerson 2mo agoI'm exclusively using the third chart. The selection process would naively be y=mx+b with some reasonable variables. It would be a downward diagonal (you would move it right until only a few remained), and you would pick the one farthest from the line, which is obviously Python. Edit: I misread the chart! It would indeed be F#
