and yet dynamically typed elixir wipes the floor with go.

LLMs get ridiculous with elixir, especially with the repl, runtime, and ability to hot reload / directly test functions. It's really surprising to me it hasn't caught on more but I guess you have to see it to believe it.

built my startup in elixir and can concur. elixir has a relatively consistent syntax that makes for a pretty good target for llms.

In my opinion, the only thing holding elixir back as an llm deliverable is that there's not as much training data for llms to work with.

Of course if we had a new AI that could be trained on a minimum of existing training data, common lisp would absolutely beat out everything else. everything you mentioned about elixir (repl, runtime, and ability to hot reload / directly test functions) are possible and were invented in lisp with an AST instead of a syntactic language as the ultimate build artifact. CL lets you recover from exceptions and rewind the stack before reloading your fixes and continuing. I can't even fathom the workloads an LLM could conceive of working with that.

This doesn't say what you think it does.

Language like elixir were given easier problems to solve when compared to other languages.

Where does the paper say this?
