Very interesting way to avoid using Python. As a Python-hater myself, I appreciate this greatly.

Considering that ML is a pretty important field, and will continue to be going into the future, this is an option I have to keep my eye on.

This is really fascinating. Something to note is that the sample size is narrow focused on experienced developers with particular famous open source projects (average 5 years and 1,500 commits on the project in question).

In my own job I also have a novel, long-term situation so I can really sympathize with the prime slowdowns they identify. AI just doesn’t cut it.
