This is probably the most intellectualism ive seen anyone put into a comment that is so very, very, obviously wrong.

Yeah, in the age of AI where the whole goal is to not have to think, type as fast as you can with misspellings, and copy paste stuff without thinking, its TOTALLY a better system to worry about the types of whatever you are feeding into llms.

Its about limiting surface area.

The gymnastics people are putting their ops teams through in order to validate oceans of generated slop is insane. Just use Rust and half of that work goes away.

Please stop trying to make Rust happen. You guys are reaching SO hard now.

There is no way that Rust will be faster than simply specifying tests for an agent to run after it has generated code.

If I had said c++ would that have triggered you less?

No.

The future of coding is english, no matter what way you put it. Many people already at this point are hardly writing code and outputting things that work.

And if you want clean structure, thats accomplished with AI too. You can analyze the code for common structures, identify refactoring opportunities, and map it to code organization guidelines.

A compiler is more efficient than an 8 layer llm lasagna stack of tools. Likewise, to stay on topic: a strictly typed language is better than running five python type checkers if you really want type checking.

Its more efficient to have a llm write in a strictly typed language than to duct tape guardrails(either tools or more llm work) after the fact. Depends on what you're building of course. I speak from an industry that ships large executables. (games)
