The problem is that without allowing some "unsafe" operations in Rust or any other language it is impossible to do any I/O

I don't think that's true, unless you insist on immutability. In particular, it IS possible to do safe IO, most languages can handle it. For Rust, it's just a matter of defining the proper rules that make IO safe, and then enforcing them.

That's not even the problem, the biggest problem is it doesn't reach its own goals. You should be able to use Rust without using Unsafe, otherwise it doesn't solve the problem it claims to solve (or rather, it solves them in a "good enough" fashion, the same as smart pointers in C++ and there's no reason to switch from one to the other).

Comment Re:Faster, no. Multi-tasking yes. (Score 1) 127

As a human, AI workflows let me have a life. I can let the agents knock out the easy things while I'm working on other tasks. I still need design out what's to be worked on, review the code, fix bone mistakes they make, etc. It's basically like having a junior developer assigned to you.

Every time I see someone talking about AI being a junior developer, I am quite certain they have never worked with a junior developer.

Very few in the industry are interested in parsimony.

I've come to accept that this as true, and further conjecture that bloat is often a corporate/institutional goal.

This seems to be a joke, but in reality corporate incentives are aligned to make things more bloated. If you're a manager, then the more people you have under you, the more power you have. This means you want your people to go slower so you have to hire more of them.

I don't have a solution but there must be one.
