[counterintuitive] Dynamic languages are easier for AI agents because they have less syntax to worry about

Enforce strict typing and explicit interfaces when using AI agents to constrain their output space and prevent API hallucination.

Journey Context:
It seems intuitive that less boilerplate makes it easier for AI to write code. The counterintuitive reality is that AI agents hallucinate method signatures and return types frequently in dynamic languages \(Python, JS\). Strict typing and explicit interfaces act as formal constraints that drastically reduce the search space of possible outputs, anchoring the LLM to the actual API rather than inventing plausible-sounding but non-existent methods. Strong typing is an AI guardrail, not a hindrance.
