tokens per language

Dan Luu's analysis of token efficiency across programming languages finds no reliable way to validate the relationship between a language and its token efficiency, challenging earlier claims that Lisp is token-efficient. The article examines how different languages tokenize in large language models and concludes that current methods lack consistency. This matters for developers and AI researchers optimizing code generation and understanding model behavior across languages.

Reading this article, looks like there's no reliable way yet to validate the relationship between language and its token-efficiency.
