"My point is not that JS is a simpler language; that's debatable. My point is that you can do things in JS without understanding the whole language. It's very hard to do non-trivial things in Rust without understanding the whole core." jyn.dev/the-core-of-...

the core of rust

This seems like a good event. I only decided to try AI coding because of @steipete.me‘s posts here. Not ready to give Claude code terminal access and rather contain bots to a browser sandbox, but I know @orta.io‘s former colleagues are using it to eliminate huge amounts of tech debt.
