The main trouble I have with Rust as someone who is unfamiliar with the language is all the traits and trait implementations. I’d rather just see all the instance methods available on a string (for example) regardless of what protocol they implement.

But these days you can ask AI chat, so it’s not a big deal.

Yesterday I asked chatGPT about OnceCell. It said "SyncOnceCell<T> in Rust is the thread-safe version of OnceCell<T>". This is incorrect, the thread safe version is OnceLock.

When confronted with this it went on to say "What I was actually referring to is OnceCell<T>, which is thread-safe when used as a static/global value" which is also not true.
