Steep learning curve is the very problem that AI solves :-) .. Writing rust is hard .. but reading isn't !

But the key thing is RUST's compiler is THE GRAND GATING FACTOR. It wont let AI sneak in random bugs .. which is often does no matter how much you test ..

So in a way , the rigor of writing code yourself is transferred into resolving the compile time bugs .. btw , if you invest time ... Those bugs are the real learning opportunity .. that is your opportunity to dive deep into Rust .. assuming you have read first few chapters of THE BOOK !
