Probably, but for what it's worth, I'm moving more and more of my own AI work to Java. It turns out that SpringAI is a great library for working with LLM's and related tech. And I was already using Jason for logic programming.
Doesn't it read as pathetic that in the age of AI, one scripting language is the center of the world? How can stuff that's so smart be captive to stuff that's so generic?
Python is a rather accessible language to learn, and that the performance gap has closed enabling this simple language to operate at all levels It's fascinating.
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?

Couldn't that also be viewed as the beauty of it?
