I’m seeing teams at Vercel iterate just as fast on Zig, Go, Rust projects as TypeScript & Python ones. The days of language or runtime choice based on human convenience are over. Agents are the new compilers. They compile intent into fast software.
The subject this post names, from the same vocabulary the directory files beliefs under, and the words it uses that this site has seen least often elsewhere. Posts are matched on those words alone — nothing here is a summary of this one.

If you can use Effect for TypeScript, you should -- to the point of not starting a new project without it.Their words, before
introducing better-result, my opinionated take on the rust result type for typescript after having written about 100 times npm i better-result *disclaimer*: if you can use effect-ts, you should use effect-ts
Their words now
every time i’ve built something without effect over the past almost 3 years ive come to deeply regret it and wish i had just done it from the start

LLMs hallucinate constantly and cannot be trusted to produce code without human verification.Their words
LLMs constantly hallucinate and cannot be trusted. I still have to verify and iterate a lot but now I usually focus on architecture and design instead of code style.

Their words
Um, and while this generally improves the reliability of the model, uh, people eventually get tired and it's hard to get really, really high reliability with a person that's manually tuning this. And so what would be even better is if the AI system itself can iterate on the scenario in which you want it to have higher reliability where it on its own automatically seeks out places where it needs more data, where it needs more supervision.

Software iterates better than every other engineering field and plans worse than all of them.Their words
while we are a lot better at iterating than other fields, we're worse at the planning part. Like we still need to do some kind of planning before we iterate and we just aren't as good as those other fields.
-
Their words
The core tension of engineering is between how expensive it is to make a mistake and how quickly you can iterate. The faster you can iterate, the less planning you need to do before you iterate, and the more expensive it is, the more planning you need to do.

one of the most important things we discovered along the way is it's extremely difficult to iterate with outside suppliers, particularly outside suppliers in aerospace, which are let's just say I have no kind words for them. So we chose to build our own machine shop. And now we can go from a digitally designed engine part to a prototype part in about 24 hours.

For a TypeScript team, Rust belongs on the backend — API servers — and not in the front end.Their words
But okay, so to begin with, I think when it comes to TypeScript, Rust fits in as the backend language. That's where I would put it. I wouldn't use it in the front end. I think it's a pretty good fit for backends, API servers.
-
Their words
My opinion is that the least mature area is front end. There have been some attempts to compile Rust to Web Assembly and then run it on the web as a front end as a replacement for TypeScript. But if I was writing a web server, I would totally use Rust for the back end and TypeScript for the front end. I would not really go the web assembly route.

that the language that's most suited for AI is the language that AI has seen the most of in its training set, right? And that's why you could argue AI does really well on JavaScript and TypeScript and Python because it's seen an awful lot of it

Their words
But but the thing is like doing programming languages, you come to realize it's a long play. I mean, if if you look back at the the stuff I worked on, it it it goes in 10-year cycles at least. And TypeScript didn't really, for example, or C# for that matter. I mean, it took it it takes 10 years to get to, you know, version one is great, but it has all sorts of issues, and then you got to do version two, and then it's not until version three that it really starts to be great.

Their words
The thing that makes it interesting, I think, and and unlike pretty much any other programming language is the gradual typing. This This notion that you can have types, but you don't have to have types.

Their words
And we we full well knew that there was absolutely zero chance that we would appeal to the JavaScript ecosystem with a proprietary programming language licensed from Microsoft. No. No one was going to come. It had to be open source. There was just no two ways about it, right?
-
Their words
So, if we're checking 99% instead of 100%, well, heck, that's better than the 0% that JavaScript checked, right? And it gives you like language features that no other languages can provide because they can't get to 100%.

GoTheir words
My go-to languages are TypeScript for web stuff, Go for CLIs and Swift if it needs to use macOS stuff or has UI. Go wasn’t something I gave even the slightest thought even a few months ago, but eventually I played around and found that agents are really great at writing it, and its simple type system makes linting fast.

the Big Short is a dramatization of a gang of outsiders (and insiders who are presented as outsiders for narrative convenience, a theme Lewis will return to frequently, not always with self-awareness) who correctly predict the mechanism and course of the global financial crisis.

One thing that drives me crazy about the React ecosystem, and more specifically "tech influencers" and "thought leaders" in the space, is the infantilization of the developers using and working in it. I’m tired of reading takes like TypeScript generics, mapped types, etc should only be needed and used by library authors for most use cases. Or today’s discourse; Don’t use `useCallback’, ‘useMemo’, and React.memo. If you’re building anything beyond a simple CRUD app or a an incredibly focused app with few features, you _will_ need these features.

What is a korrent?
A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at korrents.com.
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said. The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.
About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter, especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked article and a belief on korrents.com are left in their original language.
