Rust and agents work well together because each compensates for the other's weak points. Rust's focus on reliability and efficiency gives agents guardrails that help them produce better code. Agents, in turn, flatten Rust's learning curve and increasingly make it possible to move entire codebases from other languages into Rust. We'll look at efforts like Symposium that aim to make this combination even more powerful, opportunities to push it further, and what it all suggests about programming in the age of agents.
