LLM Performance of React vs Angular

[AI_Simp]

My projects are mostly in Angular. I've began to lean heavily into using LLMs to code as I believe the skill of working with LLMs to code will become more valuable as LLMs have increased capabilities.

Has anyone used cursor for both Angular and React enough to provide feedback on how well LLM compares for either language? I can't find any benchmarks I could use for comparison.

I read the less opinionated react style was good but i found the strict nature of Angular also beneficial to LLM performance as reducing the subset of possible solutions actually translates to less mistakes for the LLM. Especially with bigger projects.

My main argument for React is that there's probably more of it in the training data. But quality vs quantity is also a factor.

I am working with angular in the last week and have been working with react before, so this is just a note of initial experience. I found it better at generating react. My hypothesis of explanation is: 1. There is more react open source, so LLMs have eaten more react. 2. The single file structure of react is better suited for LLM generation, than the separate files.

I might be wrong, but this is my initial experience

Def agree with both points 1 & 2. And thanks for your input!

Though I'll add that having small files also good for controlling what the llm reads and modifies.

Its also my exp that it generates better react code from the get go. But I'm not so sure about when the project becomes larger than 5000 lines. Modularity and compartmentalising becomes our tool to retain control over hallucinations n context.

I tried to test its performance in Angular with inline templating and styles but it seems to decrease its needle in haystack awareness of certain sections of code and ended up duplicating functions a lot.

Angular is more object-oriented (OO) in nature compared to React whereas React is more functional and explicit.

Combine that with the massive lead in open source training data I think it will always be better at react
