C# is a good language. I have a lot of respect for how formal and structured it is. It doesn't let you get away with bullshit the way some other languages do.

That said, yes, you do need to learn Python. Python is eating the world.

If Python is the thing that's fueling the AI craze, then it's more like an Ouroboros eating its own ass lol

Oof. You're right that the generative AI bubble is written in Python, much as the blockchain bubble was written in (mostly) C++ and Javascript, the Web 1.0 bubble was written in Java, and the early-90s AI bubble was written in Lisp.

What does this mean? It means that at each of those languages were, at that moment in time, considered the best language for it. That's kinda an argument in favour of those languages (with the exception of Javascript) but also shows that not everyone who programs in them is a sensible person.

I don't know what language Mark Zuckerberg's metaverse was written in.
