For me it has the opposite effect. Now I can finally use whatever programming language I want! Is my language missing a library? No worries Opus will write one!

AI workflows don't seem to be suited to image-based environments like Smalltalk's, though.
On the contrary, when using SaaS based programming environments, aka iPaaS, it really feels like using Smalltalk and Lisp images.
With a very big difference, at least I could backup Smalltalk and Lisp images.
Unless you give them a tool which lets them execute arbitrary code in the running image.
Or at least this works wonderfully in Clojure via the nREPL.
On the other hand, ai agent harnesses work a bit like image based system - think: claude --resume
I've ended up alternating between "the LLM can write the awful glue code I'm too lazy to hand wring for my proof of concept" and "ooh, what if this was in Fortran _and_ JavaScript?"
Dark times.
