>This creates an interesting tension. Coding agents could dramatically reduce the cost of building an ecosystem while simultaneously weakening one of the forces that causes ecosystems to form in the first place.
This is deeply unintuitive but AI negates language specific ecosystems, while strengthening language agnostic ecosystems.
Pick whatever your favourite programming language is and its ecosystem. With AI someone can take your ecosystem and just port it to their language.
This means the only way you can protect your ecosystem is to play on all language fronts at the same time so porting the software to another language becomes a meaningless exercise.
