I wonder if Rust becomes more popular with AI as Rust can help catch what AI misses, but then if that's the case then what about Haskell, or Lean, or?

For core system functionality maybe. But for most applications Rust slow compiler iteration speed becomes a bottleneck when the likes of TypeScript (with Bun) and Go have sub second iteration times.

Plus AI is also good at catching, in other languages, errors that Rust tooling enforces. Like race conditions, use after free, buffer overflows, lifetimes, etc.

So maybe AI will become to ultimate "rust checker" for any language.

		In my experience developing different types of applications in Rust, the claims of a "slow compiler" are overstated. Sub second iteration times are definitely a thing in Rust as well, unless you're adding a new dependency for the first time or building fresh.

The way Haskell handles memory is weird and can be unpredictable.
