Yeah anyway with AI why would you use Python for a new project? I just do everything in Rust now, including simple scripts.

Unfortunately there's a lot of existing Python code.

    Why bother with rust? Just tell it to write assembly

    Assuming that's a genuine question...

    AI needs feedback just the same as humans. I would think of AI like a human that's of average cleverness, but has a huge breadth of knowledge and basically infinite time and patience. They are going to be decent at assembly but they're still going to make mistakes just like humans.

    Using a language like Rust that has a lot of static correctness checks gives a higher quality result for AI, just like it does for humans.
