If AI writes your code, why use Python? | Hacker News

Hacker News users debated whether AI coding makes language choice less important.

Many said Python still has an edge because LLMs are trained on abundant Python code and examples.

Others argued that Rust, C#, and similar typed languages help AI-generated code through compiler diagnostics, verified workflows, and easier human review.

The discussion suggests AI may favor well-documented, strongly typed ecosystems, but training data and maintainability still matter.
