Hey folks, please take note:

"Rust is the last programming language made for humans
that we'll need. Future languages will be optimized for
machines, where AI handles all the coding"
https://twitter.com/nath_simard/status/1816147809608851830

Sounds like utter bullshit to me. Must be a
stupid AI, that cannot do the safety precautions
of Rust. Why would I need rust, if I have an AI?

For this exampe, the AI might generate:

#include <stdio.h>

int main(int argc, char* argv[]) {
    printf("Hello %s\n", argv[0]);
}

Which might indeed generate a segfault. In
case there are zero arguments, argv[0] might
hafe the value NULL.

So why blame the target language, and not the AI?
This is a red herring argument in favor of Rust.
