Learning new languages is certainly useful/important, but time is finite. The idea of learning a certain language as a bridge to another is unrealistic unless one has a _lot_ of time.

I've gone this path, and it ultimately depends on your goal. If you want to broaden your skill set for your personal enjoyment, both are options, although "enjoying" learning Rust has a slightly masochistic trait ;) I believe

I've tried both and failed. It really depends on the goal. If one wants to end up with an elaborate hellow world, probably yes, one can learn both. Learning Rust to make it applicable to mid/large-scale projects, and potentially f

I think this (education) is a lacking area in Rust. You can read the reference book, and even a few other ones, but still not being able to have a sufficient/solid grasp of the language. I couldn't find good material past the begi

Rust has a sort of meta aspect, in the sense of "programming the programming language", that other programming languages don't have. Each problem requires two solutions - the logical one and the programming language one. It t

Assembly is simple if all one does is printing hello world (even that is actually not trivial, because one needs to know/read the syscall and the ABI). Anything beyond that gets complex quickly, in one way or another. On simple archite

I have the same theory, and had the same experience: I worked for a company where it was impossible to clean up the repository, because a dev using a GUI was regularly pushing back the old tags (and consequently, references to old history),

I agree that one doesn't necessarily need a fast language, but I think that the "hardware is cheap" idea is very misleading. Renting/owning 5x as much servers may be cheap, but maintaining them isn't.

That'd be a disaster for a startup. In order to use Rust efficiently, one needs to have a significant experience with it; without experience, one wastes a lot of time wrestling with ownership, lifetimes etc. (I do program in Rust in my
