The best argument for Rust in 2026 is not memory safety or performance. It is that AI writes better Rust than it writes C++. The compiler feedback loop is so tight that models self-correct in real time. Every error message is a free training signal. Rust was accidentally designed for AI-assisted development 10 years before anyone knew that mattered.

@CtrlAltDwayne people keep conflating rust that compiles with correct, proper, idiomatic rust. you can still write shitty rust code even if everything compiles and clippy passes.
this is a really stupid take.

@onlyfastcode Yes, the borrow checker is restrictive. That’s the feature. Constraints are what make AI code generation work. An AI with infinite freedom writes infinite garbage. An AI with tight guardrails converges fast.

@cachebagged My tweet says the compiler feedback loop helps AI self-correct. Your reply is that compiling doesn’t mean the code is good. You literally proved my point and called it stupid in the same breath.

@CtrlAltDwayne Exactly what I was feeling. I have been trying to use Rust with AI coding tools for almost a year. And in the last three or four months it is going really well. I guess the agents learned to take the correct hints from the error messages.

@CtrlAltDwayne The set of all correct, memory-safe programs is larger than the set of correct, memory-safe programs conforming to Rust’s borrow checker restrictions. So no, not really.

@CtrlAltDwayne hot take but its actually c++ that benefits more from ai. rust forces you to think, c++ lets you get away with bad code - which is exactly where ai fills the gap. the chaos needs structure.

@CtrlAltDwayne same pattern with TypeScript. strict types give the model something to self-correct against. the looser the language, the worse AI output gets

Yeah most models today are pretty decent rust devs. Depending on the scope they’re also decent c/c++ devs but building c/c++ projects, especially with lots of dependencies, is a nightmare. One c++ project I recently forked, an embedded graph db, took ~20 minutes to compile. So I ended up just using ffi and then rust for my actual project code.
That said, they’ll do sneaky stuff sometimes and just because rust compiles that doesn’t mean it is good. It doesn’t stop silly mocks(look for comments like “in a real system”), hard coded magic params, and so on. There are tons of “code smell” type issues one needs to watch out for. The good news is the majority of the low level ones are caught by default and regular code reviews will usually catch the rest. Going too far without full code review with LLMs is a mistake imho.

@CtrlAltDwayne A lot of the advantage may come from feedback density.
Languages and toolchains that make errors legible and correction fast become much more valuable in an AI-assisted workflow.

With what i’ve been working on c99 seems better than rust and c++ is the worst. Try enforcing no internal allocations (it cant use the equivalent of Vec, clone etc… in c and you ban it from internal malloc). Force it to use measure-and-allocate style when appropriate and you can build crazy things that dont blow up in code complexity.

@CtrlAltDwayne Why the rust push? If AI is so great it should excel at C or even C++ your statement has no logical purpose other than to push rust. The sudden need for a thing in concert with an emerging technology is suspect.

@CtrlAltDwayne Underrated feature: local reasoning.
Rust allows you to know for sure something you are passing to a new thread can’t be used elsewhere in a way that causes a data race by looking at just the function where you make that call. No other language I know has this feature.

I’ve experienced something similar with C#. Modern tooling combined with AI models is getting really good. The tight feedback loop from the compiler makes a huge difference and deserves more appreciation. I still remember the days when I had to manually copy and paste errors to AI from the terminal just to figure out what went wrong during compilation.

@CtrlAltDwayne It is still way too sloppy (as most of the code written by these things), but yes. You still have to babysit the model A LOT, but this will eventually be a thing of the past. Rust is a great choice, its guarantees already reduce some slop risk.

@CtrlAltDwayne I don’t really know if that’s true. You can get a lot of really good overflow checking for instance, if you just use an electric fence allocator around your typical allocators. Or for the malloc people, use a sanitizer. You can make c++ relatively painless if you keep it in mind.
