    Compiled languages with automatic resource management are much more ergonomic for distributed systems, and have faster compilers.

    Better leave Rust for when any kind of automatic resource management isn't acceptable, either due technical or social reasons.

    Also here is another point, AI agentic programming is basically using automatic resource management infrastructure.

    When you are no longer at the steering wheel, if the taxi has manual or automatic is irrelevant to reach the destination.
