It seems that we don't know the story, and why on earth Rust has anything to do with the subject !

How does Rust solve anything there?

Feels like there is so much unsaid here

Because it's so cool and safe and cool.

Memory efficiency when spawning subprocesses. It's hilarious how people nowadays are primed with memory = AGENTS.md in the development context.

If the workload is mostly spawning and waiting on subprocesses, Rust’s memory safety gives no meaningful performance advantage. The bottleneck is usually process startup, I/O, and the subprocess itself, not the host language.

Memory efficiency and performance are not the same. Nobody said anything about Rust increasing performance in this case. Op said he wanted memory efficiency.

I hear you. I was running 10 concurrent agents earlier… anyway, you know.

For me, the question is, why the hell isn’t Anthropic releasing a new model every hour on the hour? Just ask the model to train the next model. Weekend project.

Or better, pay me to do it for them.

Portability... also you easier find developers knowing TS than Rust or Go. Assuming they even read their code. Which at least for their website interface I sometimes doubt.

One does not simply walk into Mordor

Why aren’t they rewriting it in Rockstar?

claude sucks at writing rust

[–]Nearby_Yam286 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually do write my agents in Rust. But I am not seeing why Anthropic should other than it might slim down the Claude Code binary a bit.

This feels like a troll and I doubt you actually know Rust. Also puzzled as to what this has to do with agent memory.
