2 weeks agoI Can't Believe Rust Is Replacing Java
The X recommendation system was fully rewritten and open-sourced using only Rust and Python, replacing previous Java and Scala implementations.
XAI just open sourced the X recommendation algorithm, and honestly, it felt like they massacred my boy. I scrolled down expecting to see language stats like the 2023 repo. You know the usual breakdown: Java, Scala, maybe some Python sprinkled in. Instead, there were only two languages listed. Rust and Python. That's it. Which immediately tells you this wasn't a refactor. This was a full rewrite.
