Could AI allow you to write code in python, and then turn the python into a static language with static variables at least?
But the main benefits of static typing is in making the programming part easier. What do you gain from translating dynamically typed languages into a statically typed language?
Well that can't be true, why would anyone have ever made a dynamic typing system?
That's also to make programming easier. Different programmers have different needs.
I don't see how that's going to work out well. That's asking to end up with a mess that you're just going to have to rewrite anyways.
I do not even have a complete hatred for AI like a lot of folks do, but I don't trust it that much (nor should anyone).
You'd be better off with an actual deterministic transpiler for that (think TypeScript -> JS but the other way around I suppose), not something with a ton of random variables like an AI.
A language to do what?
That is just programming with extra steps
Well python is slow due to garbage collection and dynamic types, if AI could fill those in it would make programming far easier at least.
You could write low level drivers in python.
