Ask HN: In the era of AI, which language would you choose?

2 points by tcper ↗ HN
Factors to consider when choosing a language and tech stack for a project/engineering effort:

* Ecosystem maturity * Development speed * Learning curve * Recruitment difficulty * ....

With AI, since 90% percent of the code is not written craftly, So these factor maybe not exists anymore?

So how do you choose language now? Can we choose C++ or Rust purely based on cost/runtime execution speed considerations?

Python or Node because of the training data

Not Rust because you won't find anyone to maintain code. Rust is only for rewriting existing code in other language not maintaining it. C++ perhaps because of number of people who already know it, but only for performance sensitive areas. Also, lot of training data. Other than that, usual suspects, Java/C# for enterprise and node/Python for web/DS.
