Ask HN: In the era of AI, which language would you choose?

2•tcper•2w ago
Factors to consider when choosing a language and tech stack for a project/engineering effort:

* Ecosystem maturity * Development speed * Learning curve * Recruitment difficulty * ....

With AI, since 90% percent of the code is not written craftly, So these factor maybe not exists anymore?

So how do you choose language now? Can we choose C++ or Rust purely based on cost/runtime execution speed considerations?

Python or Node because of the training data
MilnerRoute•1w ago
Yeah, I came here to say: Python.

Mostly because I just know it's widely used in the AI industry, and the Python community also has a lot of tools and libraries for AI functionality...

But it matches your criteria -- it's mature, easy learning curve, fast development speed...

npalli•1w ago
Not Rust because you won't find anyone to maintain code. Rust is only for rewriting existing code in other language not maintaining it. C++ perhaps because of number of people who already know it, but only for performance sensitive areas. Also, lot of training data. Other than that, usual suspects, Java/C# for enterprise and node/Python for web/DS.
