I like Rust and I'm an advocate of Rust, but this really isn't true (at least it hasn't been and I doubt much has significantly changed).
The syntax complexity and the ecosystem haven't been ideal for LLM development. And there have been publications on findings of LLM efficacy with different languages. Rust is most often towards the lower end of efficiency/correctness when benchmarked.
