These facts are not in debate and none of us need to anthropomorphize to know what getting admin access to HF and an internal OpenAI cluster looks like.
In my experience Claude Code only really started to be really strong in December 2025 and most people didn’t notice/adopt it until Opus 4.6, which launched in Feb 2026. So I’d expect quite a different result if measure since then.
This single change is a big deal. How many users have been choosing Claude Code because there wasn't a reason to switch? Feeling left out might trigger the largest loss of subscription revenue in the history of software.
Each has their benefits:
Python wins in AI and syntax niceties. Loses on perf and library migration. uv (written in rust) saved the whole ecosystem from dying in my opinion.
Typescript wins because web integration, much better type system, ok perf, and gigantic npm ecosystem. Also loses on library migration and perf and large container sizes.
Go wins on compile speed, perf, standard library l, module system, and go fmt + never breaking compatibility being a massive LLM advantage. Main con is not being rust :)
Rust wins on perf, safety, syntax, wasm / sandboxing. think worse on module system and compile speed vs Go.
Java/Kotlan/C# are in enterprise land and probably the runtime approach is flawed for the ai eras.
C++ is strangely relevant because choosing c++ is easier than before. I tried writing a shared library in rust and then trivially converted it to c++ when I wanted
Zig is up and coming but also has an unknown future. Seems like a great language, but if bun switches to rust it might be set back a bit.
