Yeah and it's still a cli tool running on JS

So it's not a brag

They could just write in Rust directly can't they? If they do that then they're doing what they preach

My app is written in TypeScript. With agents I could rewrite it in Rust, I just don’t need to so I don’t. It doesn’t warrant that level of performance and the business logic is more digestible in its current form. Given the amount of reviewing I need to do now, readability is worth more than performance. There are always tradeoffs.

Are you implying that them attempting a Rust rewrite would fail, and this is why they’re not doing it?

Anthropic was saying that you don't need to review the code anymore.

If that was the case, it just makes no sense at all to use JS. Take the free performance gain and don't read the code.

Yep they can just prompt Fable or Mythos!

Here is the prompt they can use:

Claude, migrate Claude Code into Rust. Make no mistakes!

[solumunus]

Genuinely Fable would do a decent job.

[thewhitetulip]

Yep and they still don't do it! So we should do as they do, not as they say

[solumunus]

I do somewhat agree. I can only speculate that they're pumping out new features incredibly fast and they don't want to fall a month behind the competition.

[solumunus]

True.

> business logic is more digestible in its current form.

Well, Anthropic spent many $ teling everyone that code is dead so this doesn't matter to them does it? Their business logic can be written in English!

[solumunus]

What do you mean by “they spent $ telling everyone that”? If anything, they told everyone that to receive $ in investments. Those statements are pure PR hype.
