Yes most languages are terrible except the ones that are actually performant and good like Rust.

Do you really think AI agents of the future will be coding in Python??? What advantage would that possibly give them? That's the only laughable take here

Define future. If it means the next five years, yes, I absolutely expect people and machines to keep writing Python.

yes the next five years, and no agent in 3 years will be writing python outside of ML. Except if some fool is directing them otherwise. What benefits does it possibly offer them other than "I think python good"

I think there are many examples throughout history of better performing options not displacing counterparts. I think, really, the only "laughable" thing here is the ignorance on display that's riding atop the arrogance.

Rust is great. But AI isn't displacing Python anytime soon.

Moreso it sucks that Astral's been bought by a company with such a horrible leader at the helm.

lol yeah history isn't this, humans are dumb and follow herds to whatever end. Agents will be much more rational
