Slow and steady wins the race

Anthropic levels of slowness (pacing)?

Language design and implementation is much more in the realm of actual computer science than it is "tech"

In programming languages, usually. Building software on top of a rapidly-changing language is not often a recipe for success.

This is why Java deliberately is the last mover. Letting other languages experiment first.

Yes, the Lindy effect applies in tech too.

And apparently ignores legitimate compiler bugs on the way that someone happened to ask an LLM to double check their diagnosis

Probably that they used dynamic workflows to run long agent sessions to do the conversion, like Anthropic did when they ported Bun from Zig to Rust. Minimize Human in the Loop workflows, maximize Agents in the Loop workflows.
