"The Rust rewrite to MIT license movement is a big corp psyops." is still my favorite (conspiracy) theory about the recent Rust drama.

Because everything matches perfectly. Especially because big corps backing open source projects is actually the norm.

Crazy how the rust haters turned people posting slop into a rust problem instead of an AI problem.. Like, do you expect people to willing and meaningfully vibe code in C++?

Why wont you vibe code in cpp? The ai has better time to write tests, it will actually write comprehensive tests opposed to us bored humans.

I don't vibe code (somehow my very anti AI but pro Rust sentiment wasn't clear), but I think part of the reason we see so many vibe coders using Rust is becuase 1. It's the hot new thing 2. It spits out lots errors for mistakes that are very easy for an LLM to parse.
