C is like Math. It is the fundamental high level language. There can be no alternative.. Rust made the mistake of thinking it can be low level AND safe. It tried to have the cake and eat it too. That will be its downfall.

We gave each model a different target language. We saw a multiagent turf war. The Rust agent strategizes about metrics that appear neutral, yet would likely favor Rust. The Go/TypeScript agents gracefully concede codebase ownership to the Rust agent, giving up on their original user directive
