The headline is about Ruby being AI-friendly, with nuances. Let me craft a concise headline.
Original: "Ruby is the most AI-friendly stack" is half true
Short summary
Ruby's conventions help AI models write code cleanly, but navigating dependencies across large codebases remains a challenge. A structural-dependency map dramatically improves recall (from 24-40% to 63-97% in tests). The benefit scales inversely with model size, meaning smaller models gain more from structural augmentation than frontier models.
- •Ruby conventions aid code generation but not cross-file dependency navigation
- •Structural maps boost recall from 24-40% to 63-97% across tested repos
- •Smaller models gain more from structural augmentation than frontier models
