Instead of learning weird new stuff like rust or go, I find that c/c++ and python cover the entire range of problems you will ever need to solve. It takes a lot

  Learning weird new stuff can have a positive impact even though you don't end up using it as your workhorse though. After coding in Rust for several weeks I went back to C++ for my day-to-day work since I'm still more productive with it and the code I produce has no safety/security implications. The knowledge gained in those few weeks of Rust readily translated into C++ skill improvements, even though I already considered myself a solid C++ programmer before. Being forced to think about ownership, borrowing, move semantics, etc. constantly gets you into a mindset that is very helpful also outside of Rust.

  Hopefully the need for c/c++ will fade, and one will be able to use python and rust. https://blog.sentry.io/2016/10/19/fixing-python-performance-with-rust.html https://blog.sentry.io/2016/10/19/fixing-python-performance-... https://github.com/getsentry/milksnake/blob/master/README.md https://github.com/getsentry/milksnake/blob/master/README.md https://gist.github.com/seanjensengrey/f5d73bbdf22cfa1ad463 https://gist.github.com/seanjensengrey/f5d73bbdf22cfa1ad463
