    Why bother with rust when you can write it in C and ask an LLM to weed out the memory bugs?

      If you go that way, why not write LLVM Intermediate Representation? And if you know your server CPU anyway, why not write machine code?

      I personally like Rust for web applications a lot because you can catch many bugs at compile time instead of during tests or runtime.

        Soon we're gonna need a way to catch bugs at prompt time
