After seeing how much of the PyCon US conversation centers on AI “agentic” (vibe) coding, the author argues that Python may be used less for direct application development as agents can output other languages like Rust or Go, raising questions about who maintains the Python ecosystem and who will learn Python. The piece concludes that Python is unlikely to disappear due to its deep adoption, but its role may shift toward teaching core software-engineering concepts and providing high-quality training data for AI agents rather than being the default target language.
