I have been trying to explain to people that LLMs are worse in languages like Rust. You have a better test harness with the type system, but the syntax is so much more complicated. Handling all of those special cases, where a misplaced asterisk can mean accessing a completely different data structure, is exactly what LLMs are bad at. Because it is just trying to write something plausible.

Clojure meanwhile is very terse without being unreadable. It really does read like a series of data transformations.
