> Agents writing code in one of the most difficult to use languages

Arguably, languages with strong static guarantees are exceptionally effective for LLMs since they're much quicker to provide feedback to the LLM than a dynamically typed language (which only fails once you actually run it - often several times to find the actual problem). You also get very well-designed build error messages rather than having to parse unstructured stderr output, etc etc.

Yes absolutely - that's objectively true. That's why Typescript, Go and Rust are some of the best languages with LLMs because feedback loop is precise and fast to verify the generated output.

C# is also excellent for LLM generation.

Rust is beautiful! The way all the stdlib traits slot into each other satisfies a very particular itch

You serious? Visually it is one of the most ugliest languages that I know of.
reply
Ugly syntax, (mostly) beautiful semantics (at least compared to other mainstream languages). Syntax only makes something cosmetically beautiful.

Maybe just behind brainfuck.

Like I said - subjective. Crates, modularity, tooling? Nothing comes close to Rust. Period.
reply
yeah for all the faults with 'a.i' certain things have just become possible because of it.

We are talking about a company with ~3T market cap, right?

That's for paying execs and buying politicians, not paying workers.
reply
Exactly. Amazon is worth 3T because they're really good at cutting cost.

As a human, beep boop, I find Rust a beautiful language.
