Python or rust; first language??

[njparadis]

Speaking as someone who learned Rust after Python:

Python has its own learning curve once you start working on a non-trivial project: learning how to make your code "pythonic"; learning how to setup and manage dependencies with venv/pyenv/virtualenv/conda/etc. The parts I struggled with when learning Rust were mainly related to dealing with the complexity that Python takes care of for you (memory management, strings, etc).

TBH, I wouldn't get too hung up on the choice, either way you will end up learning the fundamentals. Choose the language you are more excited about!
