dhh: Rust is just a prompt compilation target as AI agents drill down toward computing bedrock
AccBalanced · x · 2026-09-26
DHH argues that Rust is currently a good "prompt compilation target" for AI coding agents, but so is C++ — and soon agents will generate assembly and even microcode. His point: nothing will stop the "agentic drill bit" until it reaches computing bedrock, implying AI is erasing the value of abstraction layers in programming languages.
