I actually disagree. I feel it's best to use for languages you're good with, because it tends to introduce very subtle bugs which can be very difficult to debug, and code which looks accurate about isn't. If you're not totally familiar with the language, it can be even harder
I test all scripts as I generate them. I also generate them function by function and test. If I'm not getting the expected output it's easy to catch that. I'm not doing super complicated stuff, but for the few I've had to do, it's worked very well. Just because I don't remember perfect syntax because I use it a couple of times a year doesn't mean I won't catch bugs.
