I use Scala which has arguably the best compiler/type system with Cursor.
There is no world in which a compiler or tooling will save you from the absolute mayhem it can do. I’ve had it routinely try to re-implement third party libraries, modify code unrelated to what it was asked, quietly override functions etc.
It’s like a developer who is on LSD.
I don't know Scala. I asked cursor to create a tutorial for me to learn Scala. It created two files for me, Basic.scala and Advanced.scala. The second one didn't compile and no matter how often I tried to paste the error logs into the chat, it couldn't fix the actual error and just made up something different.
Yeah, everyone wanted a thinking machine, but the best we can do right now is a dreaming machine... And dreams don't have to make sense.
Developer on LSD is likely to hallucinate less in terms of how weird the LLM hallucinations are sometimes. Besides I know people, not myself, who fare very well on LSD and particularly when micro dosing Adderal style
Mushrooms too! I find they get me into a flow state much better than acid (when microdosing).
Granted the Scala language is much more complex than Go. To produce something useful it must be capable of an equivalent of parsing the AST.
