Is that so? I feel like I’m seeing more Python and TypeScript than ever, especially when it comes to AI tooling, which is disappointing.

I can’t fathom why anybody would want to continue working with dynamically typed languages when they can now get types for free.

Almost all my tool/skill scripts are in python purely because the standard library has almost everything under the sun in it.

I suspect a lot of the Python and TypeScript code is getting prompted by folks who don't know any difference between dynamically typed and statically typed.

In the early days of LLM coding, it seemed to be much better at Python for whatever reason. I was never a big Python guy, but I got better results so I ran with it. That definitely doesn't seem to be the case anymore. Last week I asked Codex to mash up Super Mario Bros and Contra ROMs and it just did everything in straight assembly and absolutely crushed it. It couldn't do that 2 years ago. Python is just momentum and I think it's going to die down now that the models are much better.

Don’t want Nintendo to sue you (over [a] game/s you may well actually own!) so withhold my follow-up :)

Huh?

Did this create a new game? And did you publish the result? Might’ve misunderstood.
