> Or, two, is this language going to make me a ton of money. I don't think any language per se is ever going to make you a ton of money. Even COBOL is not enough to make a ton of money. What might make you a ton of money at some point is being highly skilled at developing in some broad area where that particular language happens to be used. > I couldn't really grass programming until I found JavaScript. This is a bit surprising to me, because JavaScript is not at all an easy language to work with. You might want to look into TypeScript as a way to make quicker progress in that same domain, with Rust as more of a side-project to help you grok lower-level programming in general. > I might take some time to make a game in Rust one day... Game development in Rust tends to be especially challenging, since the main competition is C++ - another low-level language. Take a look at this example of a very simple Breakout game in Bevy, one of the most well-known game engines (though still very much at a highly experimental stage!) https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/blob/latest/examples/games/breakout.rs https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/blob/latest/examples/game... - this might help you realize the level of effort that's typically involved.
