I think there has been an influx of people vibe coding in Rust because its "fast" but otherwise they have no idea about Rust.

Not because it's fast, but because of its compiler. It acts as a very good guardrail and feedback mechanism for LLMs.

Typescript has surpassed Python and JS as most used on Github for a similar reason

> making strict typing an advantage, not a chore

It's crazy that people think strict typing is a chore. Says a lot about our society.

I learned TS after a few years with JS. I thought having strict types was cool. Many of my colleagues with much more (JS) experience than me thought it was a hassle. Not sure if they meant the setup or TS or what but I always thought it was weird.
