Whichever one Oliver Schoede was referring to in
<[🔎] 20230402233616.00002bf0@online.de> when they said:

    Turns out though ChatGPT is--as virtually all ML code--written
    in Python, that's at least according to Wikipedia and not too
    surprising. There you go. Depending on what you make of it,
    there may not come much after Python

I neither know nor care if that assertion is true, because my point
was that the above is a thought experiment in no way applicable to
what started this thread, which was someone asking about what
language a sysadmin of today should learn!

Cheers,
Andy
