shihanwan1on I'd pay $2k/mo out of my own pocket to keep using Cursor

Been using copilot for a while and just made the switch to cursor, it's pretty sweet but the hype around it is crazy.

Profiles in Courage by JFK (probably ghost written)

Good new is most strongly typed languages work well with our current architecture. Bad news is Rust is not currently on the roadmap but that I can see that changing depending on how popular this demand is.
