"if"
If it could you wouldn't need to use Rust. It can't, qed.

The Rust ecosystem and build tools are much easier to use than C. The value of a language isn't just syntax.

It can't, because there is no really good code to train off of.
Rust's compile-time checks are actually a nice set of guardrails for LLMs.
Nobody who works with LLM generated code believes that LLMs produce fault-free code.
