  You can't teach children how to succeed at work by having them learn whatever language is trending in the industry, if only because things will have changed and they will be remembering very little of it by the time they will be adult and joining the workforce. You can teach children programming by using any language. You can do so even more effectively by teaching them many languages, to make them learn how to program rather than how to write code in language X.

  Then they probably should have taught them rust.

  Do you have any actual children? This is lousy advice. A parent's job is to love their children and provide opportunities for growth, not to teach them to "succeed at work". I can't think of anything more dreary than that, in fact. (Source: Raised two children to adulthood.)

  If I knew programming when I was much much younger I would be in an even better position than I am now In what way? Looking at everybody I've known and worked with over my career, I'd say the correlation between how good they where at programming as a child and where they were in their career at 40 was basically zero.
