Go is the Best Language for AI Agents

kept by eddie mar 03

Based on experience building Bruin, the author argues Go's simplicity, fast compilation, standardized tooling, and cross-platform support make it ideal for AI-agent-generated code.

What's the best programming language for coding agents?
Dan Luu's empirical tests with LLMs on Zstd and Pandoc implementations show that language popularity weakly correlates with better outcomes, but claims about dynamic or token-efficient languages being superior for coding agents do not hold across non-trivial tasks.

Use boring languages with LLMs
Using boring languages like Go with LLMs reduces variance in training data, leading to more predictable and reliable code generation.
