> why: I am so tired of worrying about & spending lots of time fixing memory leaks and crashes and stability issues. it would be so nice if the language provided more powerful tools for preventing these things.
Not a hard number obviously but a clear indication those issues exist.
I don’t understand: just use an agent to find all memory leaks and segfaults. I don’t get the argument if you are gonna vibe code anyway.
With unlimited tokens make it a lint rule or auto formatter.
LLMs are a force multiplier, not magic. They benefit from good tooling.
Literally the model “mythos” is being marketed towards finding these exact type of bugs used for exploitation. I really don’t understand the argument: are agents not good at findings memory management issues? What’s the gap?
