I trust it more with Rust than Python tbh, because with Python you need to make sure it runs every code path as the static analysis isn't as good as clippy + rust-analyzer.

I agree, had more luck with various models writing Rust than Python, but only in the case where they have tools available so one way or another it can run `cargo check` and see the nice errors, otherwise it's pretty equal between the two.
I think the excellent error messages in Rust also help as much humans as it does LLMs, but some of the weaker models get misdirected by some of the "helpful" tips, like some error message suggest "Why don't you try .clone here?" when the actual way to address the issue was something else.
That's true typed languages seem to handle the slop better. One thing I've noticed specifically with rust is that agents tend to overcomplicate things though. They tend to start digging into the gnarlier bits of the language much quicker than they probably need to.
