PSA You can just OpenRouter and it had ubiquitous web support before many. A lovely tool. If you care about native system prompts IDK you can probably find one somewhere.

You will start to care much more about guarantees than syntax. Things like "No null pointer exceptions, ever" drive language choice now. The syntax you like does not matter anymore. Maybe you think the AI has an easier time generating Go but the gap is closing fast. Transient.
