I definitely think it's language specific. My history may deceive me here, but i believe that LLMs are infinitely better at pumping out python scripts than java. Now i have much, much more experience with java than python, so maybe it's just a case of what you don't know.... However, The tools it writes in python just work for me, and i can incrementally improve them and the tools get rationally better and more aligned with what i want.

I then ask it to do the same thing in java, and it spends a half hour trying to do the same job and gets caught in some bit of trivia around how to convert html escape characters, for instance, s.replace("<", "<").replace(">", ">").replace("\"").replace("""); as an example and endlessly compiles and fails over and over again, never able to figure out what it has done wrong, nor decides to give up on the minutia and continue with the more important parts.
