Thanks, I see. I’ll research and learn more about the differences. Thought this was an writing error and didn’t research yet.

Netscape asked Brendan Eich to develop a scripting language that looks like Java, but be object oriented rather than class based.

I don’t understand this part. Isn’t object oriented also class based?? I mean that’s the entire reason why classes exist, to create objects. Isn’t it? How is this separated here?

They do more than just autocomplete, even in autocomplete mode. These Ai tools suggest entire code blocks and logic and fill in multiple lines, compared to a standard autocomplete. And to use it as a standard autocomplete tool, no Ai is needed. Using it like that wouldn’t be bad anyway, so I have nothing against it.

The problems arise when the Ai takes away the thinking and brain functionality of the actual programmer. Plus you as a user get used to it and basically “addicted”. Independent thinking and programming without Ai will become harder and harder, if you use it for everything.

Mostly closed source, because open source rarely accepts them as they are often just slop. Just assuming stuff here, I have no data.
