Maybe this is also why we're seeing the rise of more statically typed compiled languages like Go and Rust. I've successfully run Rust on mobile and it's great, very snappy compared to web apps.

The rise? Those kinds of languages have always been here and widespread. If anything you’re seeing the tapering off of the rise in other languages (JS predominantly) that took place over the last 15 years or so.

Yes, that's what I meant, the usage of languages like Ruby (for Rails) and Python (backend, not for AI work) is dropping and static languages are rising.
