I'm a big fan of Claude Code and it has really boosted my productivity while working with Python. However, I really dislike Python due to its weak typing system. I'm looking for alternatives that have a stronger typing focus, preferably functional languages. I've tried Rust and Elixir but haven't found Claude Code particularly useful for them, though I might not be using those languages correctly. I'm curious about what tech stacks others have had success with using Claude Code outside of Python. Any recommendations?

C# seems to work pretty well with Claude Code. It's actually my first programming language too, and I wouldn't mind jumping back into it for some projects!
Claude Code does a great job with Dart, which is perfect if you’re diving into mobile development. It can definitely help streamline the coding process.
I've had success using Claude Code with Rust for my projects. It’s been a game-changer for speeding up development, especially when tackling some complex Vulkan learning. Just make sure you know the language well to catch any mistakes Claude might make!
If you're into Kotlin and Spring Boot, you'll find Claude Code works pretty nicely with them. It can streamline the development process a lot.
Typescript is likely the most common language people are using with Claude Code if you’re looking for stronger types. It provides a great balance between flexibility and type safety.
C# is definitely worth revisiting! It has a solid type system that you might find helpful.
