I'm pretty impressed with Cursor: I've successfully asked it to perform codebase transforms in English, and it's worked! E.g. "Replace all calls foo(..., true) with foo_immediate(...) define a foo_immediate function". I'm still reading the diff and checking tests -- it's still AI after all.

Rust's editions make it much easier to change syntax over changing APIs. This is probably true in other languages too. It's a really compelling argument for keeping your stdlib small when your language reaches 1.0.

I don't really understand Rust's `loop {}` syntax. It's syntactic sugar for `while true {}` but it feels odd to have special syntax for this case. The name `loop` also doesn't imply 'loop with no termination condition' to me (other than break/continue).
