Code agents are great in Elixir codebases

Code agents work best in Elixir because it’s a functional language with minimal implicit configurations and conventions.

The code you see is what is happening.

Today in a Rails backend the AI was having a really tough time. Too much magic. If whatever convention you’re relying on is not in the training data, or can’t be easily inferred, the AI will really struggle writing the code properly.

I think this is true for many OOP based languages/tools.

Also compilation is a huge boon for LLMs because they get a much faster feedback loop.
