← Back to context

I don’t think that assumption holds. For example, only recently have agents started getting Rust code right on the first try, but that hasn’t mattered in the past because the rust compiler and linters give such good feedback that it immediately fixes whatever goof it made.

This does fill up context a little faster, (1) not as much as debugging the problem would have in a dynamic language, and (2) better agentic frameworks are coming that “rewrite” context history for dynamic on the fly context compression.

This isn't even true today. Source: heavy user of claude code and gemini with rust for almost 2 years now.

    Yeah, I have zero problem getting Opus 4.5 to write high-quality Rust code. And I'm picky.
