Well in case of zig the current job market is non existent. And for Go there is definetly a job market. It however always depends on your location. Just like there are areas with 0 to no Go positions available, there are areas with (almost) no Java positions. Same applys to every other language.

    Zig or Go are serious programming languages. Zig is actually the language I would least recommend for complete beginners because in my opinion it is one the most serious languages currently. What lead you to your examples Zig and Go and how do you determine what a 'serious' programming language is?

    We are already 3 years into 'in 3 months AI will replace all programmers'.
    The only reason why there is even such a big AI hype in CS in the first place is the nearly endless demand for software. It does not matter how horrible your software is, as long as it kind of does something, there is a demand for it. And all AI can do is satisfy this "demand" for small scale, broken and unmaintainable software. Everything that is a bit more sofisticated needs a human software developer.

    Will this change in 7 years? Maybe, but not because of the current AIs since they have plateuaued. All we do is increase training massively or let the models run on stronger/more hardware for "better" results. Both of these ways increase costs massively but "result" improvements are marginal.

    So unless there is a big new technological discovery, which can happen in any field at any time, AI will not replace software development jobs.

    More than 95% of management is utterly incompetent. All they do is follow the newest grift because they are not capable and don't want to actually evaluate something based on necessity or need. Examples of this are Agile, Cloud (AWS, Azure, etc), AI and many more.
