LISP intrinsically eliminates many agentic coding problems, devs argue

Quoting sbelak, who noted he never encounters the agentic coding issues people commonly complain about — realizing that even in the AI age, using LISP intrinsically eliminates large swaths of problems. Igor Carron extends the argument: a similar case will likely be made for having coding agents use functional programming, LISP, or Rust going forward — language choice itself may materially affect agent coding reliability.
