Nothing costs more tokens than an LLM trying to debug errors caused at runtime which doesn't map well to it's "intelligence" compared to what Rust provides
Unless you have `cargo fix` hooked up to automatically run on any compiler error, every error is still is a round trip to the LLM. It may be trivial for the model to fix, but it's added latency and cost.
