Assume mainstream adoption as used by around 7% of all github projects

Personally, I'd like to see Nim get that growth.

I've heard of one I don't know the name of that is trying to make it so you can just write the program with natural English kind of like how AI works off of prompts. Having grown up watching Star Trek and seeing how they would "write" holodeck programs by just giving the computer a detailed explanation of the program they wanted to run always made me wish we could do that IRL.

If AI ever solves the DWYM problem, we're in trouble. Fortunately, it'll probably solve it the way a programmer does.

Hey, we'd still need programmers to keep the AI wrangled, wouldn't we? Like how robot workers would still need maintenance people. 😟

Kotlin! I love that dataclasses and extension methods are a first class citizen.
