Ask HN: Is Java the ideal language for LLM-assisted coding?
The discussion around the ideal programming language for LLM-assisted coding is gaining attention. While languages like Python, Rust, and C++ are commonly considered, there is a growing belief that Java may be the best choice. This is particularly due to the ease of setting up and running Java with LLM-driven system administration.
- ▪LLMs are increasingly being used to write code, prompting a reevaluation of programming languages.
- ▪Java is being considered as an ideal language for LLM-assisted coding.
- ▪The ease of setup and operation of Java with LLMs is a significant advantage.

Which programming language to use, now that LLMs are writing code, is at the forefront of everybody's minds when they start a new project.Python, Rust, C++, Golang, and Swift come to mind for me, depending on the project, but I'm starting to think Java is actually the ideal LLM language, especially with LLM-driven sysadmin-ing making it easier to set up and run Java.
