Grade 9 was abacus and side ruler. I kid you not. I was born in 64 and it's incredible how far we advanced things in one generation. I like to think I helped build this world. Lol

Hey if it means we get another shot at fixing what they broke with the GPL, I'm in.

Surprisingly not a red flag, it can be used to sabotage potential sloppers.

Ok man pat yourself in the back. I give up you are hopeless.

Som project intetionally poison it. TouchHLE still does it afaik.

FLOSS existed far before LLMs, and now companies are using them to pull the teeth from hard copyleft licenses.

We didn't need artcraft, we already had Gimp, Darktable, KDEnlive, and Blender. The main complaint from users is UI. The fix isn't AI, the fix is users putting in a week to two to retrain muscle memory.

Why are you so pressed about my post? You are trying to reply to all my comments. It's genuinely kinda funny to see you like this.

Your comments sound AI generated btw. Either they are or you used it so much that you started to sound like them.

Come on tell me "ad hominem" again.

Never said the two were mutually exclusive. You invented that argument, then congratulated yourself for winning it.

You claim 99.99% of Rust projects are slop. Bold claim, big man. But apart from shitposting a meme, you've provided precisely zero evidence.

You also apparently don't understand what agents.md is for.

For someone so concerned about the quality of other people's code, your own logic sure could use some serious debugging.

Both can be true. Language is great. Users are mostly slop coders. What makes you think second invalidates the first?

Oh, I read perfectly well. You praised Rust, then dismissed 99.99% of its projects as "slop".

I think you should learn to formulate an argument without relying on ad-hominems and logical fallacies. Then you might have an opinion worth expressing.

Yes? That comment is not disrespecting Rust. I think you should learn to read.

You didn't sway me, but you didn't have to either. I strongly believe having the right mindset is crucial whenever there's any competition to be had. Mindset that takes into account not only the rules of the game but the overall landscape. Failing to ignore that is as bad as if we were to come to a sumo competition being really underweight.

There is one thing that you didn't capture though: what is our edge? What can we do as people that AI won't give us on a silver platter?

That's my 5 cents, happy to hear some answers

What was Jesus like, Gandalf?

(Ti-83, Casio FX-82 or were you still using the Antikythera mechanism back then :p

I've heard someone say its because the compiler explains errors more clearly than that of other languages and claude or whatever can correct it more easily

Dis you?

Having a deeper understanding is useful, for sure. But how does that make one language real over another?

How old are you?

I would prefer middleware and quality PRs to existing alternitives more tbh, but more options opposed to the demonic contracts the better

Calculators came out when I was in grade 10

Is it a clean room concept if the LLM has sucked up every source code it could find ?

Yeah Rust is a fairly low level language like C/C++ which should usually give you similar performance once compiled. The reason Rust was made and had become somewhat popular even before LLMs is the language and compiler are very strict. This means it is much harder to introduce things like memory leaks and concurrency issues. However this also means that it is generally more difficult to work in and learn than C due to needing to work within those restrictions especially when trying to get a new project going. However that does mean if you are going to do most of the coding via LLM tools then those tools are bound by the same strict rules and thus less likely to introduce hard to fix/reproduce memory issues.

Rewriting stuff in rust was kind of a meme long before LLM's. Rust also is famously a powerful language with a steep learning curve, the latter being irrelevant if you don't actually have to bother to learn it.
