With agents it no longer makes sense to tie yourself to Python's archaic development experience. How many type checkers are there? Package managers? Don't even get me started on cross-platform deployment.
Strongly typed, compiled languages have never been easier to use, and agents reap huge benefits from the tight feedback loop that the compiler provides. Moreover the benefits of the Python ecosystem are less significant today than anytime in the past 20 years. Need something that's only available in Python? Just point some agents at it and you can port it.
What about the several people worldwide who don't want to use LLMs to program?

Don’t think we’re there yet, otherwise we would see a bunch of forks of major libraries to alternative languages - and not just Python. There’s still too much risk of insidious errors and bugs.
