I don't think LLMs are ever going to take off in the coding space. Even the largest proponents of it have quit due to the exceptionally bad code quality.
replyThe only place it works is dumb boilerplate generation (ie, a smarter replacement for templates), but the real fix for that is just jettisoning languages that beat you to death with boilerplate; its 2026, stop using C++ and Java.
I've extensively tried every LLM model, commercial or not, and for real languages like Rust or Zig, they perform poorly, and for footgun-laden languages like C++ or Java or Python, it just hands you the footgun and helps you aim the thing.

To quote myself and what I just said: "Even the largest proponents of it have quit due to the exceptionally bad code quality."
replyI am very much paying attention to the current state of LLM acceptance.
I’m still not sure what to think of their capabilities, so I’m curious to see where ambitious vibe-coded projects like Raku++ [1] will go.
replyRaku++ is *not* vibecoding: see https://dev.to/andrewshitov/comment/3gij4
replySure buddy
