You missed the other take, with AI assisted coding, you can stay in C++, as it will take care everything is coded with enough care.
Or why bother with Rust, when the LLM gets to generate C++ code with best practices.
While I like Rust, I think AI as the next abstraction step in programming has kind of taken its relevance away, when computer assisted programming is part of the workflow.
Strange. I wouldn’t trust the output of a coding agent and I would want stronger review of its output. If it passes a strict compiler that gives me more confidence than if it passed a lax one.
But sure, if you trust it to have written C++ to a higher standard than the experts, then go for it.
