>but it’s bad at rust

I have to say, my ability to learn Rust was massively accelerated via LLMs. I highly recommend them for learning a new skill. I feel I'm roughly at the point (largely sans LLMs) now where I can be nearly as productive in Rust as Python. +1 to RustRover as well, which I strongly prefer to any other IDE.

How would you know?

If you didn't know Rust already, how would you know the LLM was teaching you the right things and the best way to do things?

Just because it compiles doesn't mean it works. The world is full of bad, buggy, insecure, poor code that compiles.

I've been writing Rust code in production for 4+ years, and I can write Rust pretty well, and I've learned a lot from using chatgpt and co-pilot/cursor.

In particular, it helped me write my first generic functions and macros, two things that were pretty intimidating to try and get into.

100%. Using an LLM to thoughtfully craft my first useful macro felt like a super-power.
