01Summary
The developer predicts C++, Bun, Kotlin, and Swift will dominate, while Ruby and Rust decline. The AI observes that most core engines are built in C/C++ or Rust, with Bun as the default runtime. It highlights that decades of 'optimize later' practices led to poor performance, and AI now enables efficient optimization that was previously unfeasible for human teams.
