Yea, I get that. But being able to at least sort of know you way around the LLM output is a LOT better than being totally lost. It at least let's you turn around and ask "in this function here, I see you did this, and it looks retarded. Was there a good reason for doing it this way?" Better to actually know how to code but I suspect C coders are going to be as abundant in 20 years as ASM coders are today.

LLMs are sooo much better at Rust than C derivatives, especially if you aren't solid as a human coder driving the input. I suspect that it is because the file structure makes it hard to keep everything you need in context. I expect that will eventually settle the great debate and kill C unless something changes in LLM C quality.
