I honestly think Mojo is the dark horse in this race. That is assuming all the roadmap goals are fulfilled. We're talking about C++-like performance, Python syntax, complete compatibility with Python, designed from the start to interface with AI, compile-time metaprogramming like Zig, and all kinds of other goodies.

So yes, people can bless Go and Rust all they want. Nothing is wrong with the languages, but I agree that learning them for the sake of AI usage is probably not the best idea if one is competent in a language already.

Disclosure: Lattner is one of my programming heroes, so I might be biased.
