Typed languages are better suited for vibecoding


My >10 year old programming habits have changed since Claude Code launched. Python is less likely to be my go-to language for new projects anymore. I am managing projects in languages I am not fluent in—TypeScript, Rust and Go—and seem to be doing pretty well.

This is unsurprising in hindsight, but it was counterintuitive because by default I “vibed” projects into existence in Python since forever. I am amazed every time how my 3-5k line diffs created in a few hours don’t end up breaking anything, and instead even increase stability. Because of this, I predict a decrease in Python adoption in companies, specifically for production deployments, even though I like it so much.
