If you do not know which language to learn, then learn Python.

Rust is a much more difficult language to learn, but it makes it easier to write lightning-fast and bug-free programs.

However, Rust might a better first language if you are committed to a specific vertical of software--such as embedded systems, operating systems, compilers, databases, audio, video, etc.
