I've found good results with Clojure and Elixir despite them being dynamic and niche.

Not really production level or agentic, but I've been impressed with LLMs for Haskell.

I think that while these langs are "niche" they still have quality web resources and codebases available for training.

I worry about new languages though. I guess maybe model training with synthetic data will become a requirement?

I read a (rather pessimistic) comment here yesterday claiming that the current generation of languages is most likely going to be the last, since the already existing corpus of code for training is going to trump any other possible feature the new language might introduce, and most of the code will be LLM generated anyways.

I've wondered to myself here and there if new languages wouldn't be specifically written for LLM agentic coding, and what that might look like.
