I can assure you that it's not worth your time to have LLMs write non-trivial code in Ruby.

I doubt Python is significantly better.

The problem isn't that there's more than one way to write working code.

It's that there's infinite ways to write working code, and nearly all of them are bad, and any dynamically typed language allows for a lot of type slop that you don't want.

There's a lot more opportunity for LLMs to write terrible working code in Ruby or Python than there is in Rust, for example.
