I like #Rust but the problem is its steep learning curve. Its fine for side hobby project but only few companies are actually adopting it, because it is much cheaper to write and maintain good quality code in #python or #golang than the whole dev team learn and migrate to rust. Just my experience.

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 !

Btw ... With AI .. the whole idea of writing code in a COMPANY/ Group setting is going to be disrupted .. I mean , no one writes a BOOK as a collective ... Writing a song is a personal thing ... Same way ... Future of code is to write all that you need yourself .. mostly for personal use but shared with close knit groups .. some ideas will bubble up just like some good poems do ...
