By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Young IT coders accustomed to Python's syntax find languages like Agda, Haskell, and LISP family languages syntactically challenging. This preference, potentially limiting their exposure to diverse programming paradigms, is exacerbated by their reliance on AI code generators, which may further narrow their linguistic and technical development. AI
