"The concurrency model is the first of these. Goroutines are a far more tractable primitive for coding agents than threads, callbacks, async/await, or any of the colored-function regimes that dominate elsewhere. They are simple, type-safe, and ubiquitously used in the corpus the model was trained on. There is no question of what color your function is, because the question does not exist."

I don't really buy the intuition (aka Goroutines are more 'clear' than 'coloured' functions or threads), and there's no evidence presented for this either.

Although this could very well be true, I'm doubtful without seeing some real world data points.

The 'general premise' aka 'cosine similarity' may have been true before bit it may not be that anymore.

AI just pretty good at anything it's 'seen enough' and that's it, I think it's more likely a 'threshold' problem than an ability problem, at least for most things.

'Rust' may represent a different domain, given the very detailed nature of notation and the vast possibilities that arise from that.
