the Rust+AI combo is the worst thing that's ever happened to software

hey @CommunityNotes this graph is not a fabrication, it's the graph from the post below flipped upside-down (because software quality is inversely proportional to the number of security vulnerabilities) calling this fabricated and unsourced is defamatory, remove this incorrect and dangerous note immediately xitter.cf/callebtc/status/211321…
I'm tired boss

I can't believe that we're actually debating whether or why Rust — a systems level language meant to rival C/C++!! — would be much faster than the interpreted or GC-using alternatives people have historically used for web apps. Programming tribalism is a hell of a drug!

They hate Go because Go is the only language since C that doesn't sell you anything Go doesn't have shiny sophisticated features that will make you feel good about yourself when you fail to ship a program that works Too readable, too explicit, too easy... how will that ever make these depressed people feel anything?
The hate on Go is stupid. Don’t use the language then my dude, this whole tweet is unnecessary lmao I’ve never really understood the tech space’s incredibly determined fixation on hating go

I've had agents implement and optimize the Campfire web app in Elixir, Go, and Rust. Yes, Ruby is the slowest. I didn't care about that when the pay-off was huge in terms of productivity and developer joy. But if you're no longer reading the code? github.com/basecamp/once-cam…
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The shown benchmarks use non-equivalent implementations: Elixir routes all DB queries through a single GenServer with Redis for jobs (retained from Rails), while Rust uses in-process queues, omits CSRF tags/fields, and applies other caching changes. github.com/basecamp/once-… raw.githubusercontent.com/basecamp/once-… github.com/basecamp/once-… github.com/basecamp/once-… x.com/zachsdaniel1/s…

bear in mind that every single AI company is losing money nobody is making profit yet it's been years and still no profit lol (this is undisputed btw) if you don't know what this means, you are retarded have a good day

apart from w*b programmers, nobody ever had a job where they just brainlessly type code

facts the only real danger of AI is that there is currently no one to blame for when things go wrong
BIG BREAKING: Edward Snowden calls for the IMPRISONMENT of Sam Altman to establish liability for the damages caused by OpenAI's models, to a thunderous applause in a packed hall of 1000+ people at ETH Zurich. Let's stop this claptrap of safetyism and throw Altman in JAIL.

If we never have to look at the code, then all systems languages are practically the same, since they generate roughly the same machine code
"I love Rust! Rust is amazing ...if you never, ever, EVER have to look at it yourself." @dhh
