> Meanwhile, Rust took its time. Yes, this is the difference between a BDFL. A single person can make a decision faster, than a group of people. And consensus often leaves most people a bit miffed. Again, the issue starts when the dictator grows mad and starts making decisions that make every contributor uncomfortable. > To my horror, many software projects were accepting LLM-generated code. I had thought LLMs were unpopular among developers. Why would a really stochastic auto-complete and analyzer be disliked by developers? LLMs are a useful tool, sometimes, but they aren't the <WE WILL REPLACE ALL WORKFORCE BY 2028> levels of hype that current frontier labs need to justify their costs. > But Memory Safety!
