Your premise here being that any software not written in Rust must be mediocre? Wouldn't it be more productive to just figure out how to evolve LLM tooling to work well with Rust? Most people do not write Rust, so this is not a very compelling argument.
Rust is just an example in this case, not essential to the point. If someone will evolve LLM to work with Rust better, it will still be mediocre at something else, and using this as an excuse to avoid it is problematic in itself, that's what I'm saying.
Basically, learn Rust based on whether it's helping solve your issues better, not on whether some LLM is useless or not useless in this case.
