Don't think so.

Rails was a convenient layer that made the time to market shorter. Now Basecamp as pretty much abandoned Rails. Don't think newer projects would be choosing Rails.

Same goes with React Native. Shopify abandoned it.

I see the same fate for Flutter. Many many frameworks and languages might get abandoned gradually. Add Qt to the list as well.

A lot would be erased and newer languages/frameworks won't gain any traction because AI wouldn't be proficient in them hence they are less liely to gain momentum.

That's the future, whether we like it or not.

Flutter is interesting because it's still the best for UI if you want to support mobile, web, and desktop, as no other UI framework comes close. I actually use Rust as the main business logic language inside Flutter via flutter_rust_bridge as I can then share logic with my Rust serverside code too.
