If we’re going to have LLMs write the code, why not something more performant? Like pages and pages of Java maybe?

this is pretty performant for short scripts if you measure time "from code to rust" which can be as low as 1us.

Of course it's slow for complex numerical calculations, but that's the primary usecase.

I think the consensus is that LLMs are very good at writing python and ts/js, generally not quite as good at writing other languages, at least in one shot. So there's an advantage to using python/js/ts.
