I used Rust extensively pre-LLM, and I'm much happier to serialize my thoughts to Rust than any other language.

I prefer to prototype in Golang since it compiles fast and makes for quick iteration, but at the end I ask the LLM to port the Golang to Rust.

Nice Rust enums for APIs are the chef's kiss.

I absolutely will not write anything in Python or scripting languages anymore. They're too brittle and don't have great devex or deployment stories. Especially when you can just as easily build in a typesafe language with good error handling that compiles down to a single static binary.

It still boggles my mind that golang hasnt introduced rust-style enums

Yep, my point tho is more sentimental than technical. Let the LLM figure out the language details and just manage the output and deployment. It's ... not fun
