Without sounding too much like a Cathy Woods, I'm wondering if AI can be leveraged to help with all of the non-core aspects of creating new languages? For example, really why does every language really need a json parser, or http requests library. If one were to examine the machine code instructions involved in each, they would likely be rather similar after all. Writing all of that stuff is an enormous lift for the community. Tooling is similarly "undifferentiated heavy lifting" in a way. Also, moving existing code bases to new languages is still hard.
If there were better ways to achieve these things, there would be much less inertia in the language space.
