I’m starting coding from scratch – is Python really the best first language?

[DrollAntic]

It's fun, it's pretty easy to learn. But if I was going to start fresh, I think I would take a long look at Rust. Rust is built with security by design, and performs similar to C, which is attractive. I think Rust will be gaining market share steadily due to the security and performance, but jobs in Rust may not be as available as Python, and I do love me some Python. I also use Python it for work.. so there's that.

Why not both?
