> since AI makes rewrites to certain languages relatively easy

This premise makes no sense. AI makes rewrites to any language easy.

That's absolutely not true. Differently languages have greater or lesser representation in the training sets. You see a similar bias toward specific libraries within a given ecosystem, so much so that I worry about AI created technical monocultures as AI generated code converges to specific languages, packages, etc.

The LLM companies have truly astounding power to now steer the direction of the entire industry. It should worry all of us.
