The possible end of a 43-year C coding habit
A programmer who has written C since 1983 says LLMs now let them generate Rust or Go programs from specs and prompts.
TLDR
After writing C since 1983, a programmer says they will probably never write another C program. They had expected newer systems languages to displace C, but say LLM-generated code changed the equation: they can now produce programs in Rust or Go with no more effort than in C, despite never learning to hand-code in Rust.
