It turns out that volume of training data isn't the most important thing. Elixir beats Kotlin and C#, which beat pretty much everything else. Kotlin is probably the sweet spot for most things.

"sweet spot for most things." care to expand on this a bit? Thanks.
Kotlin has the combination of JVM ecosystem, overall good performance and agents are good at writing it. I'd argue that it's a better default choice to reach for when working on non-frontend code than Go, though Rust and Python still have use cases.
Thanks, that makes sense. I agree.
Not the most important thing, but it certainly helps.
