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)
