It's also pretty unsurprising, given what we know about LLMs' style transfer abilities, that transferring parts of an existing Haskell codebase into Python would avoid a lot of the errors and pitfalls that codebases originating in Python are known for. From my experience writing lots of Python, this does not continue to hold true as you let the agents loose on your Python codebase.
