I’m not sure if your comment means you’re rusty (heh) or a novice who hasn’t tried programming in a while, so I’m sorry if this comes across as condescending. The best advice I try to give everyone is to chase the fun. That advice applies both to people learning and hobbyists doing stuff.
I see a lot of folks argue about what’s the best way to begin or where the best place to begin is. There’s no best way. Everything builds into each other. You become a better programmer regardless of what language you choose.
Rust was fun! I fiddled with it a bit a few years ago. The only real frustration I had was that it complained a lot about half correct programs. Like in other languages I may have just been able to put some bad code or something in some place I didn’t really care about and wasn’t focusing on, but Rust is very strict. It’s been long enough now that I forget exactly what specifically bothered me. It could have just as easily been that it was because I didn’t know it well so the compiler was just the messenger of that lol. Other languages could have just blown up at runtime.
I’m more a novice that hasn’t programmed in a while. Did a 2 year course above higschool but below uni, and worked as intern for two months, but apart from that haven’t really programmed as I don’t know what to do if not given a goal.
