While rust protects against passing and assigning the wrong types and leaving dangling pointers, it does not protect against writing inefficient garbage.

python, and humans

if you’re practically irrelevant (unusable or unemployable) youre existentially irrelevant (dead)

this is the fate of man and we must discern the trajectory of that which is beyond us before we bow out

What you say is interesting. I never did care much for Dylan now that you mention it.

Absolute garbage of an article with lots of dumb takes that are plain out wrong.

confirming that Rust popularity is in great part due to the advent of LLM for generating code.

FYI, a good chunk of the article was LLM-ified.

Last month I wrote a dynamic malware analysis tool in Rust. About 20,000 lines of it. Process management, threading, memory management, the whole stack. I don’t know Rust

And I won't be using that...

> With Rust, the actual compiler did the babysitting. The agent could be sloppy and the language wouldn’t let the sloppiness ship.

If you really don't know Rust or its best design patterns (which the authors says they dont), your agent can absolutely write garbage code that still fails. Rust doesnt make writing bad code impossible or is some magical solution to computer languages. What a nonsense article
