I don't think you need to learn C and C++ as a prerequisite for learning Rust, but I still think C is worth learning. The concepts that you would learn with C++ can be learned just as well by learning Rust, so I would skip C++ if I were you. If you decide to learn Rust, the Book[1] is, I think, the best way for you get started, seeing as you already have experience programming. 1: http://doc.rust-lang.org/book/ http://doc.rust-lang.org/book/
