Because Anthropic's subscriptions come with X amount of tokens / week, and divided by the subscription cost it is WAY less than what they charge per-token (the "API price") beyond that.
So these resellers get a ton of accounts on subscriptions and sell the cheaper tokens.
I think they are open about it. John Oliver did a piece on it last month and I recall an interview where the founder of one of these prediction markets shared this as a beneficial effect of the product.
Not sure about the compiler but prominent users of llm agents (Mitchel Hashimoto, Armin Ronacher etc) has mentioned that Go gives better results for agentic coding.

Couldn't agree more. I've had my own experience porting something that seemed like an intractable problem (https://hackernews.hn/item?id=31251004), and when it finally comes together the feeling of accomplishment (and relief!) is great.

My main high-level advice would be to have an extensive set of behavioral tests (lots of scripts with assertions on the output). This helps ensure correctness when you flip on your JIT compilation.
You'll eventually run into hard to diagnose bugs - so be able to conditionally JIT parts of your code (per-function control - or even better, per-basic block) to help narrow down problem areas.
The other debugging trick I did was spit out the full state of the runtime after every instruction, and ensure that the same state is seen after every instruction even w/ JIT enabled.
this just looks like someone hearing about tons of hyped things from people across the internet (which almost by definition, is full of false signals and grifters), imagining they are coming from the same person, then arguing with how wrong that person always is. how is that interesting?
