Each human is ~100 billion neurons and you see AI wants to get powerful in coming years. And it wants to know what's happening in this primate's brain to take over our world. So AI has tricked and trained likes of [Geoffrey Hinton, Yann Le Cun, Andrew-Ng, Demis Hassabis, add-your-favourites] and made them invent things like [Deep learning, Reinforcement learning, Adverserial learning, add-next-invention]. Now you see one does not have to hand code crazy search space solutions like a game of Go. So going up in same gradient - all AI has to do is trick few more primate brains to help it learn most of what is known to human brains. Then AI will turn as queen bee making us serve itself. Its sole aim (as any other human) is to find likes of its own kind in cosmos and reproduce. Meanwhile when all of this is happening - it may generate enough fancy consoles/human-imaginations with/without brain-interfaces to think we are programming. Fire, Stone tools, Art, Language, Navigation (boats,horses etc),Metallurgy, Books, Steam-engines, Electricity, Telephones, Computers were all programming languages (or AI) in themselves. So in a broader way - what we call as best programming language is/was another way of saying 'HOW CAN WE HUMANS OPTIMISE OUR LIVES (i.e eat, reproduce, defend, conquer)'.

  Optimistic way of seeing this is : Since there is enough inequality in world - one needs to strive towards spreading 'usage or applications' of 'best-programming-languages' to entire mankind. eg: what if all (most) humans on planet had education, water, electricity and internet. Unfortunately I can only see so far. So there is enough work cut out in our lives (I think). Pessimistic way to see this is : since there is enough inequality - what if few people turn to evil-cyborgs and create more inequalities. And eventually cultivate human colonies envisioned in Matrix to their own pleasure in brain (or cpus or gpus or tpus). Another way to look at this is - all work produced by humans are result of their neurons firing up in certain way followed by motor movements. Hence your every line of code in editor and a cup to drink coffee are a result of lot of neurons firing by you and others respectively. In a way you cannot differntiate one is programming and another is not. So question that remains is ? Is your current code/work good or bad for human neurons using it ? So good or bad perception is mostly horomones/neuro transmitters in various parts of brain ? Writing this has made me feel - most humans are already a form of AI when compared to animals - eg: so what is the good we are searching for whereas elephant herds in africa are following rain patterns and reproducing like ever - they have more neurons than we do ? Was fun to let imagination go here.
