> if you have to have a compiler check your code it's already too late
replyIf you're running good agentic AI it can read the compile errors just like a human and work to fix them until the build goes through.
Which is slow and heavy in Rust. All languages have that but faster (and simpler due to no lifetimes).
replycargo check is fast. It's only slow when the build goes through (barring extreme use of compile-time proc macros, which is rare and crate-specific).
replyi mean as a first order approximation context (the key resource that seems to affect quality) doesn't depend on real compilation speed, presumably the agent is suspended and not burning context while waiting for compliation
replyhow about not making the error in the first place
replyIf you have an LLM that doesn't make errors ever, then you have an ASI, at which point the conversation is meaningless. In the meantime, having a lower error rate but more uncaught errors is less important than making incorrect code impossible to compile, and/or flagged by strict linters.
