>but it’s bad at rust

I have to say, my ability to learn Rust was massively accelerated via LLMs. I highly recommend them for learning a new skill. I feel I'm roughly at the point (largely sans LLMs) now where I can be nearly as productive in Rust as Python. +1 to RustRover as well, which I strongly prefer to any other IDE.

How would you know?

If you didn't know Rust already, how would you know the LLM was teaching you the right things and the best way to do things?

Just because it compiles doesn't mean it works. The world is full of bad, buggy, insecure, poor code that compiles.

How does anyone self learning know they're learning the "right things and the best way to do things"? By putting the stuff they've learned into practice and putting it up against the real world. How many Rust tutorials are out there that teach things incorrectly, non-idomatically or just inefficiently? How does anyone not already an expert know except by trying it out?
