My recent experience is that llms are dogshit at rust, though, unable to correct bugs without inserting new ones, going back and forth fixing and breaking the same thing, etc.
- energy123 11mo agoA while ago I gathered every HN comment going back a year that contains Rust and LLM and about half are positive and half are negative.
- embedding-shape 11mo agoSounds like the general "LLMs are net useful or not" sentiment here too. Personally Rust+LLMs work great, and workflow is rapid for as long as you can get the LLM to run one command to say "good or bad" without too much manually work, then it can iterate until it all works. Standard advice for prompting like "Don't make tests pass by changing assertions" tends to make the experience better too, but that's not Rust specific either.
