Weird, I thought Go was one of the go-to examples in HN for languages that LLMs work well with, precisely because it's opinionated and has many standard libs. Not that I've tried, my attempts at vibe coding felt disappointing, but I think this contradicts the zeitgeist?

I work in both ruby and go. There is no comparison ai is way better with ruby (rails).

Is that specific to using Rails or it is good with plain Ruby as well?

Rails, I haven't tried at all with plain ruby, but I doubt. I think formulaic = static typing for AI

Hmm I can imagine that while LLMs are good at producing working code in Go they might not be as good at structuring larger applications, compared to building on opinionated frameworks.
I imagine there could be some presets out there that guide the vibe-coding engines to produce a particular structure in other languages for better results.
