Yeah, I've seen C++ engineers pick up Rust in a few weeks. And one JavaScript engineer, too, defying my prejudice :)

- cmrdporcupine 3y agoI picked up Rust in a few days/weeks, but ... I'd say not totally idiomatically. It actually takes a while to really learn the ins-and-outs of the right way to express certain patterns. If the codebase that the eng is being brought into is established with good conventions, I could see it happening quickly though.
- aldanor 3y agoI've seen engineers with prior C++ background and barely any knowledge of Rust brought in to work on a well established and large Rust codebase with coding guidelines and the such, and they were rocking in less than a month.
