Prediction text
Code generation models are pushing development in the direction of TypeScript instead of Rust for memory safety. | rust uh is uh is is this language that's become very popular at least very popular prior to the rise of code generation models which are maybe pushing us in the direction of typescript instead for memory management and memory safety.
