My current employer has a web backend and CLI in Rust. I joined the company having only dabbled in Rust, but having a background in C++, python, javascript, and verilog. It took me a month to feel able to do things and 3 months to feel reasonably comfortable. Still haven't mastered it after 1.5 years. Certain pieces of the rust ecosystem have their own learning curve such as diesel orm.

I was using Chat GPT to learn rust but most of the examples it generated were pretty old (mysql 4 vs now at 21).

  As a fellow rust n00b, one of the big problems I'm seeing with using ChatGPT to generate rust is that it often doesn't have a good model of ownership semantics. This has caused me lots of burnt time working through plausible but not accurate solutions to problems.

    You’re saying AI has trouble learning Rust too?

      Lol. Yup. Though it’s possible that it was overfitting its response to my noob questions. I’ve had better luck since.
