I remember reading about this 4 years ago as the new Chris Lattner project and was super excited, though a little skeptical.
I think that nowadays with vibe/agentic coding, high performance Python-like languages become ever more important. Directly using AI agents to code, say, C++, is painful as the verbose nature of the language often causes the context window to explode.
Not to mention that C++ basically can't be made to be safe. But Rust is probably fine.
In theory that is the idea behind profiles, in practice it remains to be seen what will they deliver until C++29, and if matters by then.
Microsoft is invested into using AI for C++ code review, for example.
