alt Hacker News>>It’s like 95% of development is web and LLM providers care only about that.
I've been trying to use it for C++ development and it's maybe not completely useless, but it's like a junior who very confidently spouts C++ keywords in every conversation without knowing what they actually mean. I see that people build their entire companies around it, and it must be just web stuff, right? Claude just doesn't work for C++ development outside of most trivial stuff in my experience.

GPT models are generally much better at C++, although they sometimes tend to produce correct but overengineered code, and the operator has to keep an eye on that.
Models are also quite good at Go, Rust, and Python in my experience — also a lot of companies are using TypeScript for many non web related things now. Apparently they're also really good at C, according to the guy who wrote Redis anyway.
