The main downside is that usually I only choose languages that the LLM is extremely good at. (however I avoid dynamically typed).
But I hope they succeed, it's a very interesting approach. Then I will jump on it later on. S
Are you aware of this?
The premise of Mojo used to be that it was a superset of Python so in theory LLMs would benefit from that but I'm not sure how much divergence there's been
Wouldn't that cause an awful lot of confusion in practice? Instead of having one being a superset of the other, you now have two almost identical syntaxes, but probably not quite.
LLMs have enough problems distinguishing between major versions between packages, e.g. where all the imports were moved around and renamed.
Are there any benchmarks on which languages models perform best?
