I really don't get the issue here. Is the rust borrow checker dystopian?

You're forced to write syntax that appeases the tester. If they are not happy you need to return and rewrite.

As software engineering matures, we're adding more linting and static checkers in codebases. This is generally considered good.

that's called the write/compile/check loop

but if suddenly it's ai, people freakout at having to do this?
