I used to think LLMs would make #Python and other mainstream languages dominate forever. But if AI is writing the code, you don't need a language just because it's easy for beginners or hiring. You don't even need to fear refactoring anymore.
What you really need is a language that catches the AI's mistakes. You need strong compilers and strict types (like #Rust or #Scala) to act as safety nets when the AI messes up.
