The hard language is the one worth betting on.
Rust gives you C-level speed and memory safety with no garbage collector. As AI agents get stronger, its strict compiler stops being a tax and becomes a moat. This site makes that case, teaches the language on a living skill tree, and is itself built in Rust from the server to the vector database.

Why, where, and how with agents
Why Rust
Safety without a GC, speed without compromise, and the ten-year bet on why difficulty becomes a moat.
Where Rust wins
Kernels, CLIs, WebAssembly, backends: where Rust is already load-bearing, with named systems.
Agentic Rust
How to write Rust with AI: the compiler-as-verifier loop, the pitfalls LLMs hit, and the tooling that tightens the cycle.
