I'm not familiar with the author, but I didn't take the article strictly from the perspective of the labor market. There are people who program as a hobby, for example. For those who are interested, it can be enlightening to see how different language designs lend themselves to different tasks.

The author wrote 'Writing an Interpreter in Go' for reference.

I didn’t make that connection. That’s a very good book.

And it can be even more interesting to learn about operating systems, networking, algorithms, etc, etc.
