Is there a good AI coding tool for Rust development?

Rust is well-supported by GitHub Copilot and Cursor, though the output quality is lower than for Python or JavaScript because Rust's borrow checker and lifetimes are tricky for models. Continue.dev with Deepseek Coder v2 handles Rust reasonably well. For idiomatic Rust, always review generated code carefully — AI tools frequently produce code that looks correct but fails the borrow checker.
