If your code is talking to an LLM, the performance difference between rust and python represents < 0.1% of the time you spend waiting for computers to do stuff. It's just not an important difference.

This is clearly not what I'm speaking about - there are only a few applications that talk to an LLM.

  • The article is about Anthropic's contribution to Python. Pretty much all of their code talks to an LLM.

    And just a few comments earlier you said:

    > Just recently I heard that typed languages are best for agentic programming

    Are we not talking about using python (or some alternative) to constrain the behavior of agents?

    • I was more thinking of python used as general purpose backend language. We can use LLM's to vibecode such languages.
