I love HN because HN comments have talked about this a fair bit already. I think on the recent Erdos problem submission.

I like the idea that languages even like Rust and Haskell may be more accessible. Learn them of course but LLM can steer you out of getting stuck.

The idea that LLMs are steering anything correctly with Rust reference management is hilarious to me, but only due to my experiences.
