User reports Claude AI avoids writing Rust code

Despite being prompted to use Rust for performance benefits, Claude reportedly provides justifications for using Python or produces suboptimal Rust code. The user claims that when they eventually force Claude to convert Python code to Rust, the resulting Rust code shows significant performance improvements, suggesting a potential bias or limitation in Claude's training data regarding Rust.
