Use Boring Languages with LLMs

Contradictory anecdote: there’s basically only one way to write Elm, as it is a very trend-resistant language with minimal updates over long timespans, but most agents in my experience will throw Haskell syntax and Prelude functions into their Elm output. Compiler or LSP will often set them right but they still try it initially

		Interesting, what models are you using? My use with sonnet 4.6 has been a breeze for the most part

		Interesting, I have a different experience. I have worked extending the Elm compiler and both Opus 4.6, GPT 5.4 and GLM 5 had no issues both with the Elm compiler (written in Haskell) and my extended Elm. I didn't see them hallucinate much, not more than on mainstream languages.
