Yeah, but those perceived strengths and weaknesses I'd say more often than not end up being non-issues i.e. popular chatter about whether a language is good or not and how it is used in real life pretty much never line up.
And my guess is that this "disparity" only widens with AI.
I'm not saying discussions like this aren't theoretically interesting or that people who are into it shouldn't have them. But my guess is they overwhelmingly won't matter large-scale.
That is a naive view to have. Languages have massive differences which directly impact how software is developed, built, distributed, and executed at runtime. Not to mention how it is used and maintained.
And I've yet to see an LLMs have any impact on making any of these differences disappear. The one thing I've seen LLMs do is generate more work for senior developers who have to fix vibe coded spaghetti. There language matters a lot.
