counter hypothesis - fewer languages will be used because LLMs will be better at languages with lots of training data
I never write python in my day to day but every from-scratch project I've knocked out with Claude code has been in python because that's what it seems to default to if I don't specify anything
Interesting point!
I wonder if this will also mean that new languages (or even algorithms or code patterns) are harder to get adopted, because the mass of existing code (that LLMs learned from) exerts a gravitational force pulling things back down to the status quo.
