not sure what’s the point of using/highlighting rust here. low-level language for a high-level application with IO-bound latency.

- fHr 8mo agoCodex is also in rust, no other modern language can compete. Maybe another older low level language. It's perfect for this kind of application.
- munksbeer 8mo agoI think the point is, what does it add to the discussion mentioning the language it is written in? This is a rust trait. Titles farm karma like that because "Presenting: myapp" vs "Presenting: myapp written in rust", the latter will receive more attention.
- jakkos 8mo ago- It is possible to write Rust in a pretty high level way that's much closer to a statically-typed Python than C++ and some people do use it as a Python replacement - You can build it into a single binary with no external deps - The Rust type system + ownership can help you a lot with correctness (e.g. encoding invariants, race conditions)
