You both hit on the core paradox of 2026. _wire_33 is right about the irony of high-end AI relying on a 'scripting' syntax, but as r-johnv noted, the performance gap has effectively closed.
In my view, the shift is no longer about the language itself—it's about the Orchestration Layer. Whether it's Python or an AI-Native IDE like Cursor, the 'intelligence' of the tool is becoming more critical than the syntax. We are moving from being 'Authors' to 'Architects'. What do you think—will the IDE eventually make the language choice irrelevant?
