How AI is Shaping the Future of Programming Languages 2025-12-05T18:12:30Z
A new fatalism is growing in the software development industry. With the arrival of powerful AI agents capable of writing code, a seemingly ironclad logic has emerged:
- AI writes more and more code.
- Models write better code the larger their training dataset for that language is.
- Developers naturally choose popular languages (Python, JavaScript) so AI agents can help them more effectively.
- This, in turn, further increases the training dataset for these languages, creating a feedback loop.
This is the classic "Matthew Effect" - the rich get richer, and the poor get poorer.
