We are hiring Rust devs to work on building out a programming language (BAML) with crazy new, useful features for making AI pipelines.
Our entire team is senior+ engineers.
We are a team of 5.
We work hard and in person in Seattle.
We accept new grads.
The interview is not leetcode, but a 1-week work trial.
Send me a DM on X or LinkedIn or email aaron @ boundaryml dot com if interested.
The translate feature on this app is incredible.
I just saw french, spanish, chinese and japanese all in the same thread
The combo of everyone starting to use more Rust + everyone also shipping 7x more code means CI infra companies are printing money.
Do you want to ship fast? Or have your program run fast? Thats what big corps are grappling with
if only someone were building a programming language for this new era
DHH is fundamentally right about Rust. For context, Vercel has been undergoing a Rust-ification (carcinization, technically 🦀) for a while.
One of the first projects we migrated was Turborepo, from Go to Rust¹. The migration completed, but the RoI was actually quite controversial internally.
While Rust was in our eyes better for low-level OS access, something crucial for a build system like Turbo, the human migration costs were very sustantive.
Go is very fast. It's beautifully designed. It's easy to iterate on. We were very conflicted about the migration, because it was *humans* writing the code, *even if we knew Rust was a better choice*.
The calculus has now changed. What's "best for humans" is no longer necessarily "best for business".
FWIW, it's also quite unlikely that Rust is the end-all-be-all toolchain. I'm quite certain there's greener pasture ahead, because Rust itself was designed before the 'supersonic tsunami' of agents hit.

javascript really is the zombie we keep dressing up
first typescript
then effect
now real types in typescript
The next benchmarks will be making videogames or videos.
It is so easy to get a vibe check for how much the model understands the world and complex systems this way.
this is one of the most dogshit websites i've seen, and they're worth $98 BILLION.
why are there like 15 diff hues of purple, blue and... green?
why does the video look like it was made in Microsoft Powerpoint?
