AI does decently enough on scripting languages if you spell it out enough for it lol, but IMO it tends to not do so well when it comes to compiled languages

I've tried Python with VScode Copilot (Claude) and it did pretty good

That's because scripted languages are more forgiving in general.

I was chalking it up to some scripting languages just tending to be more popular (like python) and thus having more training data for them to draw from

But that's a good point too lol

Both can be true, Python does have a lot of examples floating online.

Yeah I tried that, Claude with some C code. Unfortunately the Ai only took me from point A to point A. And it only took a few hours :D
