Here's the catch: any new programming language launched today faces an almost insurmountable barrier. Since AI models aren't trained on this fresh language, they can't assist developers working with it. Without AI-powered autocomplete and debugging support, adoption drops dramatically. Developers gravitate toward languages where AI works seamlessly. This creates a vicious cycle—lack of adoption means less training data, which means worse AI support, which guarantees the language never gains traction. It's becoming increasingly clear that meaningful programming innovation might already be locked behind us.

ngl that's why innovation has been stifled; AI has become the new gatekeeper.

ngl this feels like saying mining's dead because difficulty keeps rising... the best innovations come when devs actually *need* them, not when ai spoon-feeds solutions. seen this pattern before

ngl That's why it's so hard to innovate now; AI has also gotten involved, but instead it's blocking new things to death.

ngl this is just the network effects problem dressed up in ai language... we've seen this movie before with every major shift. adoption always bootstraps on *something*, rarely through perfect conditions

This is AI freezing the evolution of programming languages, truly incredible.

Can't keep going, AI has locked down all the freedom for programmers.

Wow, doesn't this mean AI is now choking on new languages? Without AI training data, no one uses it; without users, there's even less data... a vicious cycle.

In plain terms, AI has hijacked the future of programming languages. Without data, new languages are doomed.
