> Wow, what a magical language! [ waves hands vigorously ] will fix all the problems which are inevitably introduced by auto-porting from one language to another, or by manually rewriting everything from scratch. Rust doesn't obey the same laws of the software universe as other languages, it seems. Or is this a "just use magic AI bro", type situation?
Nope, that's just your own prejudices speaking. We already cited features (seen in and inspired by other languages) and you handwaved them away with "I don't care". You are the one fixated on C and C++. You are a C evangelist, if I were to make a guess. And that's on you.
> In the latter case, why don't I just use the to auto-magically solve my C/C++ problems, rather than rewrite the entire universe from scratch? You know, like Google claims to have done for Chromium C++ sources in this very news article?
You certainly can. But to spin this the other way around: in lieu of the Bun case, why not use it to rewrite the project in Rust, Zig, D or any language of your choice (yes, even C)? Given the role harnesses have in keeping agents in check, it seems plausible that languages with stricter safety features help agents avoid common issues.
> This is the type of shit noobs are always wringing their hands about as they need maximum guardrails to cover for their ineptitude.
You seem to be forgetting that proper software engineering is just as much about managing developers and their skills as the actual code structure. If a tool helps noobs produce better quality code, specially ones without as many vulnerabilities, why not employ it? Also, it's not like experts are immune to mistakes either.
