A very interesting point. Coding with AI definitely requires tight, fast loops. I don't have much experience with Rust, but I had heard that the compiler is slow (because it's doing so much thinking and checking in advance).

I'm OK with Lisp output, but maybe that just shows how old I am. :-)

I wonder if it's possible (or wise) to have two different compilers for a language -- one that's optimized for such tight loops, and another that does thorough checking, etc. You know, kind of like -O, but at a much deeper level.
