Yeah Python seems like a bad choice. LLMs seem to write low quality Python compared to Rust, presumably because there is a lot more low quality Python in their training sets than there is for Rust.

I'm not saying it's new technology. The patriot missile costs $4m each. None of the drones Ukraine is using have this tech. The new thing is that it's available for purchase for a reasonable price.

Yeah the readme definitely needs some non-trivial examples. How does this handle raw pointers? Operator overloading? Inheritance?

Yeah I think it is at every defense show, but that doesn't mean it makes it to the front lines. Defense show = super expensive. This is cheap.

IMO that's one of the few good decisions Python made. You simply don't have to think about overflow, underflow, signed or unsigned. But I'm not sure it makes sense in a language like Go where they actually care about performa

I was actually thinking that's kind of genius, even if it is a bit too subtle. Probably better than casting though. (Of course the best thing is real range types like in Rust.)

I don't think it's quite as simple as that. LLMs do make mistakes but generally with slightly obscure difficult stuff. They're not going to struggle at all with things a 4-9 year old is learning. Also it's not like teach

Message passing is definitely a good solution in many cases, but shared data structures are often significantly faster. Even Go doesn't restrict you to message passing, even though it is very focused on channels.

I don't think I really agree with that. You can make do with less powerful machines in Rust too. Until this year I was using a 12 year old quad core machine that was only a bit faster than a RPi 5. I think the biggest issue is actually

Nonsense. Junior salaries are on the order of $50k in the UK. There's no healthcare to pay, but employer taxes and overheads might be around 30%, so you're talking way under $100k.
