First of all, this is just a thought-provoking question, nothing more. I am personally not convinced that AI will replace software engineers any time soon, no matter how impressive current results are.

But let’s say it succeeds eventually. It means that there won’t be any new languages invented, and no updates to existing ones either. So AI will stick to a few current languages in their current states.

And the learning ability will be limited because human content is not being produced anymore. If that’s the case, AI should logically narrow it’s toolset to a single language which has capability of solving the widest spectrum of problems without the need for any further creativity.

What do you think this language is? Python? JavaScript? Rust? Something else?
