I keep being told by Anthropic and others than these AI coding tools make it effortless to write in new languages and port code from one language to another.

This is an important lesson to watch what people do, not what they say.

Nothing about what was said even contradicts that though. Maintaining three codebases is more work than maintaining one, so they are maintaining one.

You should definitely ignore the “I tried nothing and nothing worked” crowd.

Any examples of Anthropic saying that?

Coding is solved. Engineering is not solved.
