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.

@matejcerny I'm not sure if that's changed my mind. It may well be how things shake out, but regardless, I find it a little depressing just because the "solving problems in code" part is what I _enjoy_ .... this paints the future where I'm just an AI agent manager, which isn't anywhere near as fun.
