The notion of human-readable/human-safe programming languages will be irrelevant in a few years, not just C++. They may use Rust, Zig, Lean, or maybe some other LLM-generated hyper-optimized intermediate language with a strong type system and compiler, but chances are, we will read less and less of it, until we basically never read code at all.

I know this is somewhat of a meme now but I do think the predominant language will be "typing/speaking to a coding agent in your native language."
