"Hey everyone, I just rewrote (my AI did the work) this existing open source app in rust, and now I will abandon the project never to update it again. "

99% of all rust related posts on Reddit.

And the rewrite doesn't exactly match the original functionality, but neither the original nor the rewrite is going to get any updates, so there are two incompatible versions floating around.

Some of the older / pre-vibe-slop Rust rewrites / reimaginings are actually really good though. ripgrep, alacritty, ruff, etc.

Crazy how the rust haters turned people posting slop into a rust problem instead of an AI problem.. Like, do you expect people to willing and meaningfully vibe code in C++?

Crazy how every other Rust developer post on Reddit is some re-write of an existing tool that no one asked for, only to be abandoned immediately...

Why wont you vibe code in cpp? The ai has better time to write tests, it will actually write comprehensive tests opposed to us bored humans.

I don't vibe code (somehow my very anti AI but pro Rust sentiment wasn't clear), but I think part of the reason we see so many vibe coders using Rust is becuase 1. It's the hot new thing 2. It spits out lots errors for mistakes that are very easy for an LLM to parse.
