<p>OPINION:<p>This will only compound wasted time on Claude.ai, which exploits that time to train its own models.<p>Why time wasted? 
Claude’s accuracy for shell, Bash, regex, Perl, text manipulation/scripting/processing, and system-level code is effectively negligible (~5%). Such code is scarce in public repositories. For swarms or agents to function, accuracy must exceed 96%. At 5%, it is unusable.<p>We do also use Claude.ai and we believe it is useful, but strictly for trivial, typing-level tasks. Anything beyond that, at this current point, is a liability.</p>

<p>Python won because simplicity scales. Like English—26 letters, minimal grammar—it became the default. Python mirrors that trajectory.<p>It is trivially learnable, absurdly flexible, and unmatched in ecosystem leverage. No simpler language delivers comparable reach.<p>Python may not be so suitable for systems, real-time, or performance-critical work—that’s Rust, C, and C++.<p>Nevertheless, every serious engineer must know Python, just as they must know shell/bash scripting. Non-negotiable.</p>

<p>LLMs operate on numbers; LLMs are trained on massive numerical vectors. Therefore, every request is simply a numerical transformation, approximating learned patterns; without proper trainings, their output could be completely irrational.</p>

<p>- Maybe, design your language first, then name it.<p>- Single-letter names are mostly taken (e.g., B: <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B_(programming_language)" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B_(programming_language)</a><p>- Focus on one key feature your language does better than others. Low-level languages are trending; high-level application languages are crowded. For example, if you could make assembly-style code user-friendly, that could be a strong niche.</p>

<p>Impressive! This approach can be applied to designing a NoSQL database. The flow could probably look something like this? Right?<p>- The client queries for "alice123".
- The Query Engine checks the FST Index for an exact or prefix match.
- The FST Index returns a pointer to the location in Data Storage.
- Data Storage retrieves and returns the full document to the Query Engine.</p>

Generally, are there specific domains or applications where C/C++ remain preferable? Many exist—but are there tasks Rust fundamentally cannot handle or is a weak choice?</p>
