I liked it. AI-generated or not, syntactic decisions are tasteful and the language itself checks all the important boxes.

Too bad that agentic world basically destroyed all programming languages that are not Python, Typescript or Rust.

Have you actually tried other languages?? I used Dart, Common Lisp, Java, Kotlin, Groovy and more and LLM seems to be as good at those as on Python.
Of course. I write Scala and Elixir too. The problem is that they are a tiny bit less seamless. Maybe 5%. And with coding assistant speeds, this is enough to compound. And even less teams choose them than before. And it accelerates.
Works well enough on C! And even Fortran...
Even Haskell. But "well enough" is not "the best possible". And since there is no fun with "writing things in a cool language" anymore anyway...
