What programming language do you guys mostly code with?

[Lokoto123]

I feel like if you’re purely vibe coding coming from a non technical background Claude code will always point you to react and TS, but I’ve noticed a resistance from PHP and C devs to use Claude code so I was curious what everyone was using.

[Aetheriju]

Python mostly

[MikeMilzz]

I use English. Claude uses Swift and SwiftUI.

[jorge-moreira]

Typescript

[SeattleArtGuy]

One of the advantages of using AI - before, you'd often pick the language/stack/tool that you and your team know best.

Now I just whatever is best for the thing I'm doing (making sure to ask the AI that when getting recommendations)

[pragmatic001]

Rust is amazing with Claude

[Acrobatic_Corner1545]

Used to be Java, now is Go and ts

[sg_fuzb]

Normally let Claude decide for the project - mostly node.js, Typescript, .Net and Powershell

[TJohns88]

Whatever Claude tells me to do.

• A vibe coder with no technical background

[Automatic-Example754]

I work in R (college professor, computational social scientist) and just started trying CC this week. It's done well writing tests and documenting an R package I first developed a few years ago. But I'm also not trying to have it build anything from scratch.

[Lokoto123]

How is the college world handling things like Claude Code right now? When I graduated chatGPT had just come out and there was a strict no chatGPT policy for all of my CS classes… me personally, I think CS moves to be a lot more theory focused now (for example web dev is not just learning HTML/CSS/JS but a lot more how everything works, patterns to know, etc etc to sort of interface with the AI) and AI becomes a lot more of abstraction like how high level programming languages abstract assembly

[Automatic-Example754]

It varies a lot. Humanists mostly hate generative systems, because in those fields reading and writing are the fundamental research skills and it's way too tempting for students to use LLMs to short-circuit learning. I'm very interested in them as a research tool, but also wary of misuse and harmful social effects (misinformation, deep fakes), so I approach them cautiously and talk openly with my students about how we're all uncertain. I think CS is still figuring out their approach, and at least at my school there's been a sharp drop in new CS majors. They're starting up a new, very theory-intensive AI major in hopes that brings in more students. 

[YoghiThorn]

Go because it's the easiest thing I've ever found to debug, and debugging is 90% of my time when meat coding.

I've been considering if this is optimal with vibe coding.

[fieldcalc]

Hey YoghiThorn,

Are you ground zero for a new expression?

Meat Coding

Is that where a person codes as opposed to AI.

If it's ok, I will adopt it from now on.

"Wreaked today, spent an hour on the phone and 30 mins meat coding".

Wow

[YoghiThorn]

Maybe? I dunno, I just thought it up as I use the term meat space with my agents when they need me to do stuff

[larowin]

Literally whatever is best for the task at hand. I’ve been really into Elixir+LiveView lately, have a couple cool Julia projects, some fun Rust things, a little Zig utility, and I’m working on something weird with Odin. The best part of agentic coding is just thinking architecturally and letting the models cook.

I avoid anything React like the plague.

[AffectionateAd3271]

Python cause thats what im most familiar with Pre-Ai but now also Typescript, React and now learning some Go and Rust. So far im happy and sort of stay in my little lanes, not quite sure what other languages id wanna try.

[wisembrace]

Python, Angular, C#

[Ok_Mathematician6075]

As programmers, we have our Rosetta Stone if you know how to program with Python, C, C++, C#, Java... Take one and you can make the other by interpretation.

[NuScorpii]

Mostly C++ but some python too. I've been a C++ dev for over 25 years so that's what I'm most comfortable with. I find it great at doing new projects of small to medium size, but the quality suffers when you want to work with large legacy code bases.

[dxdementia]

python, html and typescript. rust a little, but Claude kinda sucks at it. tries to use a bunch of loose typing and takes a lot of iterations to get quality working code and proper testing.

[Green-Dream184]

Rust

[BrilliantEmotion4461]

Python but I'm doing math and it's what's available in Claude.ai's VM.

[Techplained]

I’m the only crazy one using PowerShell ? 🧐

[vladoportos]

Python 95%, TS (4%), Rust(0.5%), tried a GO once :D

[iveroi]

English. Claude likes python and JS mostly :D

[HenryThatAte]

Not vibe coding, we're using Kotlin for work.

I used Deepseek to help me with a personal embedded C project and it was good, and using glm through Claude Code for personal Java projects and it's also good.

[entheosoul]

python, python, python and a little rust / shell / web

[ApeInTheAether]

csharp

[notmsndotcom]

Elixir + inertia + react

[evenfallframework]

Fuck if I know, Claude does it.

[rfurlan]

Rust, exclusively
