Not really, especially Facebook (Meta) moves really fast. They have a slogan "Move fast, break things", okay not "Break things" anymore. But you get the gist, in my experience working at almost all of FAANG, Meta and Net

As far as I can tell from my prior experience of working at Insta is that all the work is done by various services written in C++/hack. Python/Cinder would be just interface layer routing the incoming request/response from&#x

Worked on Instagram codebase for almost 2.5 years, never wrote a single line of Python, most of the services are hack or c++. Where does python come into picture? Apps are in java/kotlin/ObjectiveC/Swift.

Agreed on most of the part, except work from home/office argument. Working from home allows me to spend lot more time with people who I want to spend time with. I have more time for Gardening, DIY things, working out, etc.

Autopilot is not FSD, this report is clearly about Autopilot, they haven't mentioned anything about FSD in it.

This report is for Autopilot, not FSD which everyone else is talking about on HN.

You have clearly made up your mind and no matter what someone says you won't change it. Good luck learning new skills.

I don't disagree with your overall sentiments, however >Arc<Box<Foo>> ugliness Box is not needed, Arc<Foo> should already be heap allocated.

> If you are a rust dev that forces your language into areas where a GC would suffice What's wrong in using Rust where a GC would suffice? Rust type system gives it a more high level feeling than go could ever provide.

You can do the same in Rust with include_dir[1] 1: https://docs.rs/include_dir/latest/include_dir/

Would never choose Go unless I'm paid for me. Rust is so much better to work with, pattern match and algebraic data type just makes the programming so much fun.

TIOBE's data is so botched, seriously typescript is ranked 40, below Scratch, below COBOL, heck even below FoxPro. And no Vlang is not a programming language, it's a scam and should be treated as one.

What kind of ergonomic benefit would this bring to an average rust developer who doesn't go into the depth of rust traits/type systems and just use libraries made by other smart people to develop some web service backend?

I'm not sure how are you getting "look up to" vibe, Andy commented that[1] before vlang was released, solely based on feature lists from vlang's website. [1] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19086589

> The immutable->mutable trick seems to be caputred by the type checker. Just add the immutable variable's reference to a mutable array, now mutate the immutable variable using array[0], magic!! The compiler is so basic and naive
