alt Hacker NewsYes 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

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