I've already seen at least one promising experiment about how static checking helps LLMs: https://arxiv.org/abs/2606.01522 Key parts of the abstract: > This raises a question the programming-language community has not previously had reason to ask: should error-message detail be calibrated differently for AI agents than for humans? > We investigate this question through a controlled experiment using Shplait, an ML-style statically typed language. We construct a suite of programs containing a single deliberate type error each, and measure how often an AI agent repairs them under ablation: a…
