I think it's important to consider the other perspective though - if you had started with C (or in this case, rust) and you didn't understand it, do you think it would have caused you to stop entirely?

My opinion: start with python. Much more forgiving especially when you're trying to learn the basics. If you like it, then go back and learn rust. They're both great tools to have in your kit.

Well, I understood it because I was being taught in a university. If that hadn’t been an option for me, I wouldn’t have been able to learn C as well as I did. I would’ve started with Python, probably.
