> AI has removed most of the complaints people had with learning or using Rust.
Not even close. The problem is not only writing the code, it’s being able to review and understand it. An AI can’t magically transfer that knowledge into someone’s brain, they have to develop that knowledge themselves.
I’m dealing with this currently with a team of ML developers. A couple of them like Rust, the rest don’t know it. They’ve tried to submit AI-written PRs, but typically they’re incredibly over-engineered, e.g. changing 40 files when the feature really only needed changes to one or two. Or else they have other problems that the prompter wasn’t experienced enough to recognize.
