> it can be very hard to actually know what method you can call on a struct

The rust-analyzer language server can autocomplete the available methods for a value.

depending on the autocompleter feels like asking to code to Chatgpt to me.

I disagree, there's a big difference: rust-analyzer is deterministic and 100% accurate while ChatGPT is non-deterministic and hallucinates.

Yep. I can't remember method names for the life of me, which is why my best experiences have been with Go and Java: The IDE (always Jetbrains) knows, via the type system, what methods I can call.

Then you underestimate the power of ChatGPT by a facor of a million.

Furthermore you can use `cargo doc` to generate a documentation website that had everything you can do or you can use docs.rs for this. Whoever wrote this didn't embrace the tooling and just gave up.
