If that's the case, I wonder whether languages with steep learning curves still have a place, now that GC offers a more straightforward approach that requires less mental overhead.
Good questions. With AI coding backed by bountiful open source libraries, coding may no longer be be necessary soon. We are re-witnessing the era of obsoletion of typewriters, except this time the rock is smacking on our own toes.
