Is there a long term future for a performant, robust, do-everything language and framework like C#/dotnet in an AI-powered software ecosystem that is increasingly dominated by Rust, TypeScript, and Python?

I believe dotnet can do everything that those three can do, in one language, and almost as well or better in many cases. But, it's not going to outperform Rust or be more accessible than Python, and TS is just so dominant in web dev.

Right now, I feel relatively confident that sticking with dotnet is letting me set up coding styles/guidelines for my agents to make them more efficient. I also think that the same things that make C# syntax human-friendly also makes it AI-friendly.

I'm just not sure how much any of that matters in the long run.
