Learn Rust by Reasoning with Code Agents
It's often said that Rust has a steep learning curve. I disagree with this notion. I'm a strong believer in learning by doing. Rust is a programming language, and like any language, it should be learned by applying it to real projects rather than relying solely on books or videos. However, learning by doing can't solve every problem that newcomers might encounter. While it helps with grasping the basics, when it comes to mastering Rust's advanced features like ownership, traits, lifetimes, async, we need more than just hands-on practice. We need to understand. We need to reason. Thanks to Code Agents, I discovered something even better: learning Rust by reasoning (with Code Agents).
When we reason with code, we're doing more than just following its execution. We're trying to piece together the thought process behind it. We're imagining the mindset of the person (or the AI) who created it, and questioning it.
Reasoning always involves a question, not just a fact. The power of AI-assisted programming is not in generating code. It’s in giving us something to reason about.
