I've noticed a fairly similar pattern. I particularly like vibecoding with golang. Go is extremely verbose, which makes it almost like an opposite perl - writing go is a bad experience, but reading go is delightful. The verbosity of golang makes it so you're able to always jump in and understand context, often from just a single file. Pre-llms, this was an up front cost when writing golang, which made the cost/benefit tradeoff often not worth it. With LLMs, the cost of writing verbose code not only goes down, it forces the LLM to be strict with what it's writing and keeps it on track. The cost/benefit tradeoff has increased greatly in go's favor as a result. | ||

No shade on Go but you kinda just said that the language has always looked like AI generated code and this works in its favor now because you don’t actually have to write it anymore. Funny, but not sure I’d consider that in Go’s favor. |
