You don’t learn programming language for the sake of it. Nobody cares about the language anymore. You learn to be a software engineer. Language is just one of the obstacles to overcome on your way of delivering value or a product. Nobody not even most of the people (let alone ai) will do this job for you. And this is what you get paid for. Not for typing compilable letters.
