agentic_eval/

languages.rs

//! Evaluating **programming languages** for agentic AI use.
//!
//! The other modules score a *program*. This module scores the *language* a
//! program is written in — the standing properties that determine how well an
//! LLM agent can write, verify, and recover in it, on the same four axes:
//!
//! - **token efficiency** — how many tokens typical code costs (syntax weight,
//!   boilerplate, type annotations) and how much standing context (imports,
//!   project config) a working snippet drags in.
//! - **determinism** — does the toolchain behave reproducibly (lockfiles,
//!   hermetic builds, stable formatting) so agent-driven edit→run loops converge?
//! - **reliability** — when the agent gets it wrong, does the language *catch* it
//!   (static types, compile errors with spans, no undefined behavior) and is the
//!   error message structured enough to self-correct from?
//! - **safety** — what blast radius does running generated code have by default
//!   (memory safety, sandboxability, capability gating)?
//!
//! Scores are **0.0–1.0 static profiles**: curated, documented judgments encoded
//! as data — deterministic, comparable, and serializable — not measurements of
//! your codebase (use the program-level axes for that). Each profile carries
//! `evidence` strings so an agent can see *why* a score is what it is, and the
//! per-axis rationale survives serialization.
//!
//! ```
//! use agentic_eval::languages::{profile, rank_languages, Language};
//! let rust = profile(Language::Rust);
//! assert!(rust.reliability >= 0.8); // compiler catches agent mistakes
//! let ranked = rank_languages();
//! assert_eq!(ranked.len(), Language::all().len());
//! // Ranked best-first by composite fitness:
//! assert!(ranked[0].fitness() >= ranked[ranked.len() - 1].fitness());
