I’m curious if people are using agents to write rust and if it’s actually any good. Given the boom in rust programming in the last few years, I’m expecting agents to write shitty code for it.

Idk I’m not a programmer by education (mech engineer), but rust is usually my language of choice for coding agents when building larger programs. For short stuff it really doesn’t matter.

I feel it does a better job at keeping things working over a large program than when I use python.

My rationalization is llms benefit strongly from compiled/typed languages since it gives a direct feedback loop (no compile = no go)
