I've had claude write my rust tools for a year without learning any rust. gonna try this to finally learn it for real.

git worktree (or any COW snapshot like this) still leaves you reinstalling node_modules per tree and fighting over a dev server port. That's the actual cost, and none of these tools touch it. So I gave up on parallelizing inside one repo. I run agents across different projects — one repo each — and stay serial within a single project.

I was a Go engineer for years and have shipped a lot of Go. I never properly learned Rust.

Over the past year I've been using AI to write small Rust tools for myself — I barely read the code, and honestly it just works.

But for serious projects I expect to maintain long-term, I still pick Go. Today I want code I can actually own and reason about myself.

Give it a year or two and I probably won't be writing code by hand at all. Once the AI owns the code anyway, that reason disappears — and at that point Rust's guarantees win. So I suspect I'll end up leaning Rust.

I also have this doubt and can only hope that Cloudflare provides a solution soon.
