I have a few Go projects now and I speak Go as well as you speak Kotlin. I predict that we'll see some languages really pull ahead of others in the next few years based on their advantages for AI-powered development.

For instance, I always respected types, but I'm too lazy to go spend hours working on types when I can just do ruby-style duck typing and get a long ways before the inevitable problems rear their head. Now, I can use a strongly typed language and get the advantages for "free".

Oh absolutely. I've been using Python for past 15 or so years for everything.

I've never written a single line of Rust in my life, and all my new projects are Rust now, even the quick-script-throwaway things, because it's so much better at instantly screaming at claude when it goes off track. It may take it longer to finish what I asked it to do, but requires so much less involvement from me.

I will likely never start another new project in python ever.

EDIT: Forgot to add that paired with a good linter, this is even more impressive. I told Claude to come up with the most masochistic clippy configuration possible, where even a tiny mistake is instantly punished and exceptions have to be truly exceptional (I have another agent that verifies this each run).

I just wish there was cargo-clippy for enforcing architectural patterns.

and with types, it makes it easier for rounds of agents to pick up mistakes at compile time, statically. linting and sanity checking untyped languages only goes so far. I've not seen LLM's one shot perl style regexes. and javascript can still have ugly runtime WTFs
