It doesn't seem to me like LLMs write stellar Rust, in fact it seems to be quite questionable and full of unsafes.

At that point, just write it in C and benefit from the faster toolchain and the more comprehensive suite of tools.

Whilst I have personally never had an issue with LLMs writing unsafe rust my comment was meant to be facetious. I dont't mean to disregard the fact that LLMs are easily powerful enough to reduce the need for large frameworks and libraries.

I do question how sensible it is to write everything from scratch for every project instead of relying on existing libraries with greater support.

I've never seen an LLM write unsafe Rust unless I explicitly asked it to, or the thing I asked it to do fundamentally required it.
