  On a personal note, I'm in this picture. I've been doing back end code for decades, and beyond a bit of 2003 style ajax/css, my front end skills were non-existent. One of those itches - standing up a blog - as I'm working on my Rust skills, I looked at the tailwind components and started using them. And down the rabbit hole I went to understand what was there and how to use it. On a whim, I asked copilot, interpret this style - and I'll be damned if it it did not produce useful results. I also understand there is an entire ecosystem I'm oblivious to. I'll grumble about the Java code it generates. Mostly meh. As I look at the Rust suggestions, it seems fine. Is it Rust has better training data, or is it that I'm a weak Rust coder still and don't know right from working. My money is on the latter. Anyhow... considering the hours I spent yesterday trying to implement light/dark mode on some simple pages, your Tailwind comment resonates.
