Very suspicious that OpenAI and Anthropic both dropped major announcements within hours of me publishing this: dashbit.co/blog/why-elixi… They want to silence it. Don't let them. Read it twice. Share it with your colleagues and friends.

Here is my take on why Elixir is the best language for AI: immutability, documentation, stability, and tooling for coding agents. It builds on the recent study in which Elixir had the highest completion rate across models among 20 different languages. Link in the thread below.

I had a bad day vibe coding with OCaml in Claude Code using Opus 4.5 today. I have a thin Unix wrapper function to read from stdin asynchronously, blocking when no input is provided. In one place I needed a short timeout, like ~50ms. So I asked Claude to refactor. And it’s so bad. It just does the wrong thing and doesn’t understand my prompts, no matter how specific and explicit I am. I wasted 30 minutes, and I realised it’s just 15 lines. I could’ve just written the code myself, and save a lot of time. The problem with AI is that it’s highly unpredictable. You can’t forecast the quality of the output. One day you’re having a blast. Next day you’re having the most miserable experience. Once you’re in this prompt loop, your brain suddenly thinks, “Bro, just one more prompt, I promise, this time it’ll work.”

Using AI assistance for programming is an education in what I actually like about programming. Long ago, when asked to explain why I liked programming I used to answer "Because it's the only way I know of to get paid for being an experimental epistemologist." It was a funny line to anybody who knows what an epistemologist is, it was true, and for some reason I forgot it for a long time. Now I'm doing most of my programming with LLMs, no longer writing vast volumes of code by hand and...I don't miss that part. Because I still get to be an experimental epistemologist. That is: every program embodies a set of assertions about what kinds of knowledge and what kinds of reasoning you need to engage with to solve a particular problem. To me, that's the interesting part - the level where you're forming theories about what kinds of knowledge and knowledge representations will support what you want to do. Then you're testing the theory by seeing whether the program fulfills its acceptance conditions. I did not see LLMs coming. I did not foresee the part where the actual coding is rapidly dwindling because you have robots to do most of it for you, but the experimental epistemology part is still here. And you know what? I'm completely okay with that. The part I like is the part that hasn't gone away. And probably never will, because however good your tools are, somebody is going to have to do that philosophical impedance match between what the mind desires and what the tools can express.

I've been coding for 50 years. I'm very very good at it. I've probably written more code than most people have read. And I have no idea why I should mourn coding by hand. Code is just a way to get from the thoughts in your head to a running program. The reward isn't the glyphs on your screen, it's realizing a design idea. If I can use LLMs to realize my design ideas more accurately and faster, that is entirely good and entirely to be welcomed.
