"However, managers also had to grapple with a few dozen regressions in the resulting code, pointing to AI’s ongoing challenges in understanding Rust. "

The problem isn't rust or understanding rust. Agents make plenty of mistakes in mainstream languages like JavaScript and C#. The off-hand deflection signals, to me, that whoever came up with that excuse has far too much faith in the bots. We do have to check their code, and we will find errors.

While I largely agree, I suspect languages which require more memory management awareness, especially when they have opt out options like `unsafe`, will remain more challenging for the models. They have a tendency to turn things off to "pass the test"
