And when you factor in LLMs being ridiculously good at scaffolding basic apps, the time to reach that turning point will continue to decrease. It takes me time to write out test harness boiler plate, or making a nice dev/staging environment configuration. It is why many languages come with a `mylang create proj` command line tool to automate a basic project. But the custom scaffolding that a LLM can provide will eventually beat any command line project creation tool we can imagine.

This is one of the driving realizations of my point. I've coded in a lot of dynamic languages and a lot of static languages and the distance between their developer experiences are shrinking drastically. I would expect a decent dynamic language expert to become productive in Go very quickly. Rust may be more difficult but again should be totally possible for any competent programmer. Then you add on top of that the fact they will be ramping up using an LLM that can explain the code they are looking at to them, that can provide suggestions on how to approach problems, that can actually write example code, etc.

And then there are all of the benefits of deploying statically compile binaries. Of managing memory layouts precisely. Of taking direct advantage of things like simd when appropriate.
