I've learnt Rust in 12 weeks with a study plan that ChatGPT designed for me, catering to my needs and encouraging me to take notes and write articles. This way of learning allowed me to publish https://rustaceo.es https://rustaceo.es for Spanish speakers made from my own notes.
I think the potential in this regard is limitless.
- koakuma-chan 1y agoI learned Rust in a couple of weeks by reading the book.
- koakuma-chan 1y agoBut I agree though, I am getting insane value out of LLMs.
- IshKebab 1y agoDoubtful. Unless you have very low standards of "learn".
- koakuma-chan 1y agoWhat are your standards of learn?
- IshKebab 1y agoI would say you have to be familiar with a large part of the standard library, de facto standard crates, and most language features, plus have the experience to write code and deal with compiler errors effectively. No way anyone is doing that in a couple of weeks by reading one book. At least for Rust. Maybe for something a lot simpler like Go it's plausible, but even then I doubt it. You're not going to know about any of the common gotchas for example.
- paxys 1y agoYeah regardless of time taken the study plan for Rust already exists (https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/ https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/). You don't need ChatGPT to regurgitate it to you.
- ainiriand 1y agoThe key points that helped me, besides correlating sections to the corresponding chapters in the book, are the proposal of certain exercises every week to cover the topics we've seen and the encouragement to write small articles around the lessons. I've already completed the Rustlings independently before this but it left me kind of lopsided and wanted to make this knowledge as full as possible.
- EagnaIonat 1y agoThe book is great but its not really helpful for teaching. To get to a reasonably proficient level in rust I did the following. 1. Use the book as the reference. 2. Angela Yu's 100 days of python has a 100 projects to help you learn python (highly recommended if you want to learn python). Tried creating those projects from scratch in Rust. 3. I'd use the book as a reference, then chatGPT to explain more details why my code is not working, or which is the best approach.
- BeetleB 1y agoNow this is a ringing endorsement. Specific stuff you learned, and actual proof of the outcome. (Only thing missing is the model(s) you used).
- nitwit005 1y agoI'd tend to assume the null hypothesis, that if they were capable of learning it, they'd have likely done fine without the AI writing some sort of lesson plan for them. The psychic reader near me has been in business for a long time. People are very convinced they've helped them. Logically, it had to have been their own efforts though.
- ainiriand 1y agoStandard ChatGPT 4o.
- ai_viewz 1y agoyes Chat GPT has helped me learn about actix web a framework similar to FastAPI in rust.
