alt Hacker News> With AI someone can take your ecosystem and just port it to their language.
I don't think its that "just". Examples of porting we seen had some prerequisites: being self contained with very strong tests coverage, so AI could iterate N millions times and fix bugs in new implementation. Otherwise such porting could be very buggy and unmaintainable.
Don't all of "serious" programming languages meet that bar? Java, C#, Go, Python, etc all have enormous test suites. Once you get into the third party, things become much more uneven, but if you can restrict yourself to say the top N packages in a language, those are going to have better than average development practices which makes that plausible.
