I’m pretty impressed with Claude Code in generating a Rust application. It does require familiarity with Rust syntax, however. Letting it stamp out code relatively unattended is folly.
My experience is that it’s best to be as specific as possible in your prompts and limit things to creating, editing or modifying specific structures and functions to perform a task.
As an example, I essentially vibe-coded a complex formal logic theorem prover in a matter of a few afternoons rather than weeks or months. You can check out the result here, GitHub - glancey/axiom · GitHub.
Claude Code saved time with its ability to construct accurate syntax, which in Rust can be a pain to do manually. It also generated the code comments and the readme. Impressive to say the least. The sky’s the limit as far as I’m concerned.
