> I also think that it is generally a very good thing that it evolves slowly

This is why new ecosystems starts. Not everyone is ok with the slow pace

If this is such a good default, why make me type `-fsanatize=address? Why isn't this the default when not doing "release mode"?

Yes you can, so I don't know what OP is complaining about.

  if (int.TryParse(str, out var value) && value == 5)
  {
      // value is available 
  }

   // value also available

> They are way to implement multiple return values

They are one way to implement multiple return values. For multiple returns, tuples can be used. In fact, async methods can’t declare out params

I like C# but simpler? I don’t believe so.

One person != "the ecosystem"

Not convinced at all by these reasons. Rob Pike has long stepped down from the Go team so it shouldn't matter? This is a website not a language change.

For God sake, add a syntax highlighting on the official page! Otherwise this is awesome

> I think the perf jump from Ruby to Rust is much greater than .NET Core to Rust

This has not been true for me. If you are constrained by memory, you will still come out better using Rust, even if you use C# with AOT. We use .NET 10 at work and see 1/5th of the memory being used by a ported Rust service. Your mileage may vary.

IMO, CC should be the poster child of what LLM coding should "feel" like. If things are so good why are there so many issues? Why can't they get a handle like other well-run projects? As you said, they have unlimited tokens so this project should be close to pristine as much as possible.

> Those numbers don't really mean anything

IMO this is very dismissive. One example of probably many more, where software is used by millions and yet doesn't have this much being reported.

Do you really think that having this many issues is justifiable/ok?

You realize you can write the Rust version in the same way the Zig one too right?

That’s the first thing others point to being LLM-generated. If you see, right after the phrase you quote, there is a question as to what else OP thinks is LLM-generated. I didn’t put words into anyones mouth

After going over that section again I can see it now.

So anything that has em dashes is now considered LLM generated? What made you think this is generated?
