I found it's the opposite. Thanks to LLM's whole classes of problems otherwise solved by using Rust are gone. It's now more important that the generated code is easy to read.

Relative to Go? I'm pretty sure your Go code won't be faster if you used LLMs. If you need that, Rust is still preferred.

Relative to C/C++? That'll be very interesting. Do you have some evidence that LLMs can create memory-safe code in C/C++? It'll be truly amazing if true, but given that they apparently struggle to create/maintain big codebases in already-memory-safe languages I seriously doubt it.
