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.

Rust is memory efficient and apparently safer. Think the barrier for entry is also a little higher than langs like C from what I hear.

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.

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

Because wanna be programmers don’t want to learn a real language like c or c++ or anything else. Thats from what I hear from coworkers. I just use python, sql, and c++ for basic crap.

Why is c++ a "real" language and not rust? It's a tool. All programmers need to know logic above a specific language.

I guess being memory safe makes it not real. It's only a real programming language if you can easily cause a BSOD and leave attack surfaces from improper memory handling.

Yeah buddy I know logic and c and c++ are better lower level languages and they give you more understanding and freedom in you tool usage. Rust was made for people who don’t develop. Hope that helps you understand what I said more without you putting words in my mouth.

I mostly use C but your Rust disrespect is crazy

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

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.

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

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.

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.

Lol at "pressed". You're loud and you're all over this thread like a rash. I'm taking a shit at the dentist and replying to you. That should tell you how much your posts matter to me. It's literally up there between getting cavities filled and flushing a turd.

And yes, I get it. Big words and basic logic confuses you. No wonder you think my replies are AI-generated.

"If you disagree with me, you must be a machine. Say ad-hominem again!".

You've gone from "99.99% of Rust projects are slop" to critiquing my writing style and implying I'm a clanker. But still no evidence for anything you're caviling against. Still no logic. Still no idea about agents.md, Kant or much of anything. Lots of big feelings though. Lots of personal insults and shit talking.

Oh look - I used 3 in a row. Must be AI gen.

TTFN.

"Ad hominem" is when you try to discredit an argument BY attacking its speaker. Someone saying something about you that you took negatively doesn't mean they're trying to attack your argument that way. They might just be changing the subject off of noticing problems with your approach.

You're jumping into the middle of a conversation where OP delightfully asked if Claude was puppeteering me anally when I asked him if he knew what ethical meant, besides several other bon mots and snide remarks to myself and other posters.

View the full conversation in context.

OP has an FuckAI axe to grind (click their post history), not a substantive point to make.

This is not a serious thread. This is a dogwhistle for the FuckAI crowd.
