Exploring Why Rust is More Suitable than Python for AGI Development

In 2023, Elon Musk’s tweet suggesting that Rust would become the language for AGI (Artificial General Intelligence) development instead of Python sparked discussions about the choice of programming language for AGI development.

In the realm of AI, Python has long been a preferred language for machine learning and artificial intelligence. However, recent advancements suggest that Rust might become a contender for AGI development, along with another language called Mojo, which claims to be hundreds of times faster than Python. Let’s explore why Rust is more suitable for AGI development than Python.

Performance and Efficiency

One of Rust’s most significant advantages over Python is its outstanding performance. As a compiled language, Rust programs undergo optimizations during compilation, making them faster and more efficient for large-scale computation in AGI development.

Rust Code:

fn factorial(n: u64) -> u64 {  
     match n {  
         0 | 1 => 1,  
         _ => n * factorial(n - 1),  
     }  
 }  
 ​
 fn main() {  
     let n = 20;  
     let result = factorial(n);  
     println!("Factorial of {} is: {}", n, result);  
 }

Python Code:

def factorial(n):  
     if n == 0 or…
