Can’t escape AI slop projects from meat proxies man. Every single open source project smells like Claude Code recently. Sad times.

It’s the preferred language choice for lots of slop projects because it’s fast and memory safe. It’s the language that lots of people would like to have written their projects in but couldn’t because there is a steep learning curve, but LLMs let you slop out thousands of lines of rust without that.
Ok, clear. So, there is nothing wrong with the language itself, but its a good vehicle and indication for AI slop. Like the em dash of programming.
Exactly. Lots of good stuff written in Rust!
No in isolation but when they say they made something in rust in a month then flags start going up.
No, not at all. There’s some really good shit written in Rust. Didn’t someone just re-write Minecraft in Rust?
“Written in Rust” as a slop indicator is like an AI scanner flagging a repo as AI-coded. Poor heuristic, infinite false positives. Which circles back to: if professional devs can’t tell the difference between AI-written and human-written Rust, the FuckAI crowd needs to rethink what “slop” actually means.
Or we need to admit that Rust is just…fucked :)
Wasn’t the Minecraft re-write vibe-coded though?
I dunno - genuinely. I just heard about it and thought “ofc someone did that”
