The advantage of Haskell is higher quality code with fewer bugs even when you write fewer unit tests. The advantage is the same whether humans write the code or AI writes it.
replyThis might not be noticeable if you only write short programs: if the human can put the entire program in the head or if the AI can keep the whole thing in the context window. It matters much more when the program gets bigger.
Fewer bugs is such a wild claim. Especially since study after study has shown that to be wishful thinking. Haskell apps have just as many bugs in general as anything else.
replyCan you produce those studies? Genuinely interested. Intuitively, I would have thought properly used Haskell prevents a lot of bugs by virtue if its type system, which allows for encoding internal constraints to a certain degree.
replyThe extreme end of this is dependent types, which is so strong that it can be used as a foundation for mathematics itself, and is the principle that the Lean, the proof assistance, is used on. A Lean "program" is effectively proven to be bug-free.
In my experience, AI does really well with a good type system. It tries something, if it doesn't compile, looks at the message, fixes, etc etc.
replyThe compiler itself acts as a steering function for the AI. I've also had this experience with Rust.
my haskell is still natty
