I was trying to get help on Chapel, but that failed pretty badly.

And if I try with Gdscript the models will tend to give me Python code instead. It looks quite similar, and with orders of magnitude more training examples that's perhaps not unexpected.

Oh, and I did try getting help on writing lock-free parallel code in Julia but that failure may honestly be a Julia problem more than the models'.

@jannem hah, yeah your choice of programming languages is a whole lot less mainstream than mine!

Which is not a problem, to be clear. Handling big languages with common problems is the high impact case.

Also, I just asked Gemini for a parallel prefix-sum in Chapel and it gave me a credible-looking piece of code. Now, prefix-sum is Baby's First Parallel Algorithm, and there's bound to be Chapel examples out there to draw from, but that's still a lot better than what I got with an earlier model.
