I'm a SWE that's never worked with Rust (I've mostly been in R/Python, then SQL/Java/C#). I feel like with the advent of LLMs, the choice of programming languages will be so much less important in the near future. Before LLMs, having to learn a new language imposed a lot of costs in how to do the basic stuff, as having 10+ years of experience in a language means you can bust out features much more quickly than someone who has to constantly go to StackOverflow to figure out how to do boilerplate stuff. I feel like a lot of the debates over languages was really just "please don't make me learn this new crap", with people having their preferred language and then actively searching for reasons to defend it. Now you can just have Claude Code easily do boilerplate in any language for you, and focus on testing things instead. I'm converting old SQR code into SQL now, and pre-LLM this would have required me to have at least a basic knowledge of SQR, but that's no longer really the case.
