Tell HN: As AI gets better, are scripting languages losing their appeal?
As AI keeps getting better and better at coding, I kind of feel that using scripting languages is starting to lose its appeal.

For example, why create a Python Lambda that has a large cold start, is slower, and ends up costing more, when I can build the same Lambda in C++?

The same applies to bloated Electron applications, I can build the same thing, and often something even better, with far more efficiency using native code.
