Personally I don't think it will be helpful for career development. I'm never going to work in a space where Rust will be useful and it would probably be a mistake to choose it. But I'm just a Java dev /shrug.
- JohnFen 2y agoI consider it important to my career to be sure my skillset doesn't get stale[1]. I don't bother to learn everything that comes down the pike (who could?), but I do keep an eye on things and if it looks like something might end up being in demand, I'll learn it. I don't always forecast correctly, of course. But I'm a programming polyglot. Learning new languages is pretty easy (if you already know the paradigm of the language, then it's just a matter of syntax), so why not? [1] It's important to me mostly because learning a new language or other skill often gives me a new understanding or insight into programming overall. Also, having a wide skillset makes me qualified for a wider selection of jobs, making it more likely that I can find one that excites me in some way.
