if anything, compilers and interpreters are probably the most suited for ai codegen as they have some of the most comprehensive test suites around and are relatively easy to verify.

that said, it's a fun debate. sure, the rust compiler eliminated a whole class of memory bugs- but did the convoluted borrow checker gymnastics plus agent whoopsiedaisies leave behind a plethora of hidden and exploitable logic bugs?

it'll be interesting to see, although we may never know as anthropic will probably use the latest frontier models to audit and quietly patch over the coming years.
