Mitchell Hashimoto talking about how in the world of AI programming languages are fungible. He gives example of recent Bun rewrite in Rust.
On the interesting side is how fungible programming languages are nowadays. Programming languages used to be LOCK IN, and they’re increasingly not so. You think the Bun rewrite in Rust is good for Rust? Bun has shown they can be in probably any language they want in roughly a week or two. Rust is expendable. It’s useful until its not then it can be thrown out. That’s interesting!
This reminds me of how AI can empower developers to rewrite code without regret.
