Interesting, Gemini must be a monster when it comes to Go code then. I gotta try it for that

As go feels like a straight-jacket compared to many other popular languages, it’s probably very suitable for an LLM in general.

Thinking about it - was this not the idea of go from the start? Nothing fancy to keep non-rocket scientist away from foot-guns, and have everyone produce code that everyone else can understand.

Diving in to a go project you almost always know what to expect, which is a great thing for a business.

There is way more Java and C++ than Go at Google.
Reasonsbly small Go codebase works well almost with any LLM

I had always designed very large projects as few medium sized independent Go tools and that strategy pays in times of AI assisted coding.
