I think people overestimate the effect of representation of specific programming languages or frameworks.

I had Codex or Claude create simple web apps for me in Objective-Smalltalk. And it did a good job.

I am pretty sure that Objective-Smalltalk web apps are so underrepresented in the training set as to be almost or even actually nonexistent.

Yep. It's not that important unless you're really just relying on one shot responses.
