   In this age of LLM written everything which has softly killed my motivation for learning Rust somewhat, this has revived my interest if not only for the fact the LLMs haven't yet been trained on this yet!

      And what prevent you exactly ?

      There were humans far superior than you for writting Rust before LLM, now there's a LLM. The only difference is price and time execution.

      You get an awesome teacher (LLM) ready to answer all your questions about Rust.

      And you still find excuses not to learn it ?

      At some point, just realize you've been lazy to learn it and LLMs are just an excuse.

         I think OP’s point is that the payoff in learning a new language has diminished in this AI era. You can call that lazy, I’d consider it smart to consider whether you could be doing other, better, things with your time.

            If the sole motivation for learning things are payoff, then sure.

               the sole motivation is feeding and sheltering my family. in the time BC (before Clankers), rust was a better way to do that.

                  Nice one!

                  Which year shall we count as 1 AD (Anno Delirii (or should it be Darii))?
