I've found it's ok at Rust. I think a lot of existing Rust code is high quality and also the stricter Rust compiler enforces that the output of the LLM is somewhat reasonable.

Quite sure it's not about the language but the domain.

		Agreed. When I've written very low level code where there are "odd" constraints ("this function must never take a lock, no system calls can be made" etc) the LLM would accidentally violate them. It seems sort of obvious why - the vast majority of code it is trained on does not have those constraints.

Yes, it's nice to have a strict compiler, so the agent has to keep fixing its bugs until it actually compiles. Rust and TypeScript are great for this.
