> I don’t know which direction we’re going in with AI

Maybe programming languages will be designed for AIs in the future. Maybe they'll have features that make grafting unknown generated code easier.

Will we ever even get a widespread new programming language? AIs work great for coding because they have massive codebases in C/C++/Python/JS/etc. to train on. If I create a language called "foo" tomorrow, no such codebase will exist for it and the lack of AI support for the language will be a huge barrier for adoption so it's going to be much less likely to catch on like Python did back in the day.
