Unfortunately for static type weenies like me (and you, presumably), types don't seem to matter at all, or Python and Javascript wouldn't be on top. There's no reason to believe that Ada's type system is so unique that it alone can help AI self-correct, and Rust, Haskell, ML, Typescript, etc. can't.
Well the reason I'm interested in Ada is because I saw a study that showed AI did worse at functional programming. So that might explain the problems with Haskell et al. But Ada has a strong type system while still having procedural code. So it would be an interesting comparison with Haskell etc. if the problem was that Haskell is functional or if the problem was that these are not so popular.
