Very interesting! I honestly would have expected the opposite: I was optimistic about strongly functional languages in the age of AI. The more modular and side-effect-free your code is, the easier it should be to constrain changes, catch slop, and reduce LLMisms like spooky hacks-at-a-distance.

It looks like the issues are in the compiler and documentation so hopefully it’s fixable… I write in Python every day but I do miss smarter languages and I hope AI doesn’t fully obliterate them.
