Context is very important in these kinds of use cases. If you work with something niche, I think these tools are less valuable because the training data becomes sparse.

For example, GPT-4 produces Javascript code far better than it produces Clojure code. Often, when it comes to Clojure, GPT-4 produces broken examples, contradictory explanations, or even circular reasoning.



Have you tried Cursor out of curiosity? No ties to the company and long-time dev (Scala mostly), just genuinely found it to be transformative to my development practice like no tool before.
