I have a 16GB RAM laptop. It's a beast I bought in 2022.

It's all I need for my work.

RAM on this machine can't be upgraded. No issue when running a few Codex instances.

Anyway my point still stands, you're looking at it as if they are competing languages and one is better at all things. That just not how things work.
