> Wouldn’t a language designed for vibe coding naturally dispense with much of what is convenient and ergonomic for humans in favor of what is convenient and ergonomic for machines? ... surely Rust is even less ideal.

I don't get how the second follows from the first. One of the main complaints levelled against Rust is that it is not ergonomic for humans, specifically because it forces you to work to a set of restrictions that benefit the machine.

With an LLM coding agent that quickly produces volumes of somewhat-scattershot code, surely we're better off implementing incredibly onerous guardrails (that a human would never be willing to deal with)?





Agreed. Seems to me that for vibe coding you want 1) prevent as many run time errors as possible at compile time ( Rust )

2) use a language that is well supported by the community with countless examples ( Python )
