If a coding agent is writing code for you, telling it what language to use is micromanaging. It might use Rust, it might use C++, it might use both. If it's writing the code, it probably has a better idea than you have for what's appropriate for that code.

When I didn't tell it what to use, recently it used VB (mixed with Python). Not ideal.
Or at least not without the benefit of more capable coding agents than you used to create it.
And only if the coding agents in question can be trusted to not deliberately or accidentally fail to provide you with critical information ("Now that you mention it, the program does occasionally POST the contents of ~/.aws/credentials to a web server. As this produces no output, I didn't consider it relevant to your question about whether it correctly outputs the string 'hello world'.").
