It's a lot different to "vibe code" by copypasting crap from a browser window to an editor vs using an agentic LLM with full access to the source and tools to search for documentation, run scripts etc.

And one major thing is language.

Some languages (Rust, React) are so complex and nuanced that LLMs struggle with them - as do humans. Agentic LLMs will eventually solve the problem you've given them but the solution might be a bit wonky.

Compare that to LLMs writing Python or Go. With Go there's just one way to write a loop, it can't get confused with that. The way to write and format the language has been exactly the same since the beginning.

Same with Python, it's pretty lenient on how you write it (objects vs functional) but there are well-estabilished standards on how to do things and it's an old language (34 years btw). Most of Python 2.x is still valid Python 3.
