Yeah, same here.When I had AI test the code, the compiler catching its mistakes helped it keep going on its own and produce more robust code faster. Just my impression, thought.

My read is that If your codebase needs a lot of unsafe - on intersection of hw, need a lot of memory allocations with custom memory allocators, can take advantage of comptime, using a lot of c dependencies anyway. Maybe zig makes sense? It's a very niche space.

It depends. PHP can be a better choice than Rust in some cases. But in general, in my opinion, no.
