As a developer who mainly writes front end apps with Javascript (but with experience in a lot of other languages), I started to learn Rust for an app I want to build.
The issue is that the app itself will not really be needing maximum performance and I much more concerned about the safety aspects Rust brings. But I guess the safety aspects would be the same with me using Python for example.
Why I want to learn Rust is because it could help me in the front end aspect and I think it's a language that has a bright future.
Am I crazy to spend the time to get effecient in Rust and write my app I want to write in Rust instead of Python? Is there any other benefits of using Rust that I don't see as a beginner? I am afraid that I'll just waste a bunch of time just because I want to learn Rust and think it's cool but ultimately it will slow me down to such an extent that my app never sees the light of day or that it increases general development time.
Thanks in advance for all potential responses
