It feels like some form of Jevons Paradox when making things run faster &amp; people want to use it more. A few examples:</p> <ul> <li><code>ripgrep</code> <em>(2016)</em></li> <li><code>astgrep </code>(2023)</li> <li><code>uv</code> from Astral (2024)</li> <li>Warp.dev</li> </ul> <p>Probably numerous other instances of this trend continuing, especially now that agents are making it cheaper to pick performant languages like Rust, even if it would have been more complex for the developers in the past.</p></description></item></channel></rss>
