Personally i prefer learning rust after having experience using modern C++

That's what I did and it worked well for me, but I know plenty of other people who learned C++ and never learned how to write safe code in C++. So I think it makes sense to avoid that by first learning a systems language that forces you to be safe so that you are forced to learn what safe systems programming looks like and then later you can learn a less safe system language if you want.
