It's extremely weird that 40 years after TurboPascal, 30 years after Delphi and VBA, we've only regressed in terms of truly integrated development environments.

Heck, even programming languages have regressed. Python and Javascript are less type safe than Java circa 2005. Even though we have technology needed to make type safe languages much more ergonomic, since then.

On the other hand, LLM will force most languages to either become as masochistic as Rust with restricted clippy, or disappear.

Python is not going to survive once people start figuring out it's much easier to keep LLM agent in check if language actively fights back.

thats an interesting take on python. I think I might agree with you
