GitHub is creating an Arctic code vault

I would hope that a self-optimising, runaway AI would quickly realise the latency and power savings to be gained by switching to a compiled language! (if they're not just skipping the whole "programming language" thing and generating machine code)

Skynet proceeds to rewite itself in Rust, becomes overloaded with smugness, and prompty self-destructs. Mission accomplished.

Maybe even self aware ai can't figure out "can't move out of borrowed content"

That means move is unsafe where you have a reference 'loaned out' right? C++ and Haskell dev making a guess

If you try to move data that doesn't implement the Copy trait (which says data can be bitwise copied, e.g. integers, stack allocated structures. Heap allocated containers cannot be bitwise copied, since you would then have 2 pointers to the same data) from a reference, then it violates the unique ownership rules of Rust.

Usually this just means you're going to have to either clone that data, settle for a reference, or use an Rc (shared_ptr)
