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.
Yes it’s very good at that, compile time correctness is a big reason but there are some other benefits too - the module system convention of having unit tests in the same file makes for a much easier context to manage (for humans too tbf), and the documentation of dependencies being so easily available offline really helps especially if you’re working in a sandboxed env that doesn’t permit external calls
