People forget that while technology grows, society also grows to support that.

I already strongly suspect that LLMs are just going to magnify the dominance of python as LLMs can remove the most friction from its use. Then will come the second order effects where libraries are explicitly written to be LLM friendly, further removing friction.

LLMs write code best in python -> python gets used more -> python gets optimized for LLMs -> LLMs write code best in python

LLMs removing friction from using coding languages would, at first glance, seem to erode Python's advantage rather than solidify it further. As a specific example LLMs can not only spit out HTML+JS+CSS but the user can interact with the output directly in browser/"app".

In a nice world it should be the other way around. LLMs are better at producing typed code thanks to the added context and diagnostics the types add, while at the same time greatly lowering their initial learning barrier.

We don't live in a nice world, so you'll probably end up right.
