It could very well be argued that a move towards more optimized, yet still human-readable languages is appropriate. In a _very_ generic sense, LLM's can pick up the slack of those languages being harder to write, AND hard to debug.

There is less of a need for super convenient, yet bloated languages now. For software that matters, and burns the most joules in the world, I hope we can also spend a few more tokens instead of doing it in interpreted python just because it's a bit easier for the LLM.
