If by coding speed, AI is definitely faster than human. If by coding quality, I believe there's "No Silver Bullets".

It's an old article from StackOverflow in 2021 talking about code quality. But it's key points still hold under today's AI vibe coding age: "Code quality is a competitive advantage".

Vibe coding can give you fast code and help you go fast to market, but it may not be your long-term competitive advantage.

Lambda has first-class type support. Type can be constructed like data at runtime under Lambda, which is more powerful than most programming languages.

I agree that Nushell is close to a full programming language.

thanks for pointing out. I did not notice that nushell has pattern matching. for schema support, I mean something like RelaxNG, or XML Schema.

Thanks for bringing up Nushell. I don't have working experience with Nushell. Just by looking at the documentation, I think the obvious differences are: 1. Nushell is a simple shell script. Lambda is a full functional language. Nushell does not have class support. 2. Nushell does not have built-in markup data support. 3. Nushell does not have rich type, pattern matching and schema support. 4. Nushell is CLI. Lambda supports both CLI and GUI.
