There have been negative consequences for individuals before it didn't really change anything big.

On the flip side, even if you punish the villain, garbage papers still get printed. Almost like there is a root cause. Both views are maximalistic.

Damn, then Rust is safe from AI :D No one understands it either.

Sure it isn't. It is still a financial liability. You need to sacrifice time clearing it to get to work that actually pays the bills.

> No. Most memory management in Rust is not through it's GC, even though most Rust programs do use the GC to some extent. Most? You still haven't proved that. So most Rust programs mostly use GC, yet it's not a GC language

Sure, but all code is a potential future debt. You wrote a music player that only allows one artist from list of all artists? Tech debt. You wrote optimized assembly for x86_64? It's the year 2060, and we only support NGPU_ARM_N_LEG. T

Liability is also an economic term. As in, "The bank's assets (debt) are my liability, and my assets (house) are the bank's liability." I don't think it's a wrong quote. Code's behavior is the asset, and c

I'm reading it as charitably as possible as in "Maybe some lifetime in some arcane combination is unsound." I did heard that 'static lifetime shouldn't be permitted in some cases. The premise is too ridiculous to e

So it re-adds manual lifetime checking. Got it.

I think Blow and Muratori are pure engineers (as defined here: https://www.seangoedecke.com/pure-and-impure-engineering/ ). Pure engineers deliver perfect and fast software somewhere along the Black Hole Era. Not quite

(Good) Abstraction is there to hide complexity. I don't think it's controversial to say that software has become extremely complex. You need to support more spoken languages, more backends, more complex devices, etc.
