The bagel they save for the regulars. Don't skim, savour.
Summary
The article predicts that Rust, Python, and TypeScript will dominate the programming language landscape due to their strong fundamentals, such as efficiency (Rust), extensive libraries (Python), and web compatibility (TypeScript). The rise of AI coding is expected to shift language loyalty from tribal preferences to practical considerations.
Key quotes
