I will go a step further, AI agents transpiling into existing languages is an intermediary step until they improve themselves, just like in the early days of Lisp, Fortran and COBOL, Assembly developers didn't trust them unless they could fully analyse generated Assembly.

Nowadays while generating Assembly is an expected option, it is mostly a niche use case, largely ignored by most developers, many don't even know how to look into Assembly generated by JIT compilers, although that is an available option.

Same will happen with AI tools, they will perform desired actions, and eventually output some kind of data where we can cross-check the quality of generated actions, but not everyone will care to look into them.
