I am surprised that Python is being "threatened by AI writing code", as per the article, but that the said-article never wondered if the AI was more efficient writing in Python or what else.

I mean, the Python ecosystem is qualitative and generally well-documented. What if the AI spent 30% less tokens generating code than e.g. in Rust?

Or is there a kind of information theory where, given the same goals / tests, the AI will spent roughly the same in any language?
