Hmm. That section about "costs a language must reduce" is interesting when read in light of AI. Implementation time? AI is a huge win, at least in the small.

Hmm. That section about "costs a language must reduce" is interesting when read in light of AI. Implementation time? AI is a huge win, at least in the small. For a multi-year project, I'm not sure yet. (It is, literally, too soon to tell.) But for new developer onboarding and team maintenance, I'm not sure whether AI is more of a handicap. Yeah, AI can digest a huge mass of code and give you a summary. It can also create a more indigestible mass of code. Is it reducing that cost, or increasing it? (Again, too soon to tell.)
