## Resource

In this episode of The Programming Languages Podcast with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna explore how Rust is becoming the go-to language for building the infrastructure that powers AI and machine learning workloads. They discuss why companies like Hugging Face, Anthropic, and startups in the AI space are adopting Rust for its performance, safety, and concurrency benefits. The hosts break down specific use cases—from tokenization and data preprocessing to serving models—and compare Rust with Python and C++. They also touch on the growing ecosystem of Rust libraries for AI, such as Candle and Burn, and what this means for developers looking to future-proof their skills. Tune in for a concrete look at a language that's quietly reshaping the AI stack. #Rust #AI #Infrastructure #MachineLearning #HuggingFace #Anthropic #Candle #Burn #Python #CPlusPlus #Technology #ProgrammingLanguages #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #TechTrends #Developer #Performance #Safety Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
