Aptos CEO Avery Ching points out something important:
“Developers don’t want to learn a new language” used to be a serious and fair critique.
That argument is quickly losing relevance.
AI is effectively killing it.
At Aptos Labs, agents already write the majority of Move, Rust, and React Native code using tools like Claude and Cursor and we’re clearly heading toward near-full coverage.
As this trend accelerates:
-
Language wars start to fade
-
Architecture and system design become the real differentiators
In the AI era, architecture wins, Language developer wars fade.
