TL; DR:

• AI reduces friction, not engineering responsibility
• Pick languages for the problem you're solving
• Unfamiliar stacks still need credible validation

Are Programming Languages Dead?

I came across a question on the experienced developers subreddit: With AI writing more of our code, does the programming language even matter anymore?

My answer? Yes. But I think the reasons we choose a language are changing.

That is a different conversation from declaring programming languages dead. AI can make an unfamiliar stack more accessible without making every stack interchangeable. It can help you build something without magically removing your responsibility for what you ship.
