I was going to argue "LLM's need code samples to-do well on languages and if we are honest C# is a language mostly held in private repo's" but Github's 2024 report[0] says its the 5th most used language (I'm to lazy to check if this report includes private repo's but I'll assume it doesn't).

So kinda neat to see this paper!

The big labs are almost certainly using compiler/repl output for generated code as an oracle for RL. I doubt they have C# in the mix.

Why do you doubt that? It's a widely used language. And there is even an open source C# REPL.

Because RL time is expensive and I don't think the languages which are more popular than C# have such high performance that it's worth bumping their batches for C#.

		But C# is a typical enterprise language which has people who are willing to pay a lot of money for AI. We’re just guessing and the fact of the matter is that we don’t know what inputs they use for their models.

5th most used language based on private repos that the group making the report has the exclusive direct access to seeing

I don't see that contradicting your assumption
