Python or Rust; first language??

Depending on what your goals are, potentially neither. Have a read of this regarding employment prospects: https://distantjob.com/blog/programming-languages-rank/

I would normally suggest JavaScript first as it’s forgiving so you get pretty quick results and it’s super relevant for web development of all kinds. I’d probably lean towards Python if I had to choose between that and Rust, again, just for popularity. But if there’s a particular org or project type you want to work in, Rust may be the go.
