Even before AI the trend was moving toward increasingly static languages (JS->TS and even a lot more typed Python). Once you accept the static typing benefits, you start to wonder if you could leverage the constraints to drive performance improvements.
Agreed. AI doesn’t level the playing field but turns it more in a winner takes all situation. AI is currently best in Python programming from what I hear and this is because it has seen the most Python code.
