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

        Because fuck borrow checker..(and the horrible syntax)

          I don't get the complaints about the horrible syntax. The syntax is fine... Which is weird cause I only get complains from c/c++ folk, and that set of languages have objectively AWFUL syntax

            It’s subjective. Some folks think lisps are it, others basic. Folks need to accept that we do not need global alignment on what good syntax means.
