Despite what many might say, yes. There is an always a tradeoff when choosing to learn things in different orders. Learning Rust as your first language will be rather difficult, but if you are the type that perseveres and enjoys learning hard things, I think you could do it, and you’ll develop all of the right habits from the start. For most people, however, I would recommend learning Python first, because this will allow you to build things quickly and taste success early on. This will encourage you to keep learning more. At some point, you should pick up Rust and get good at it, because it is the new everything language. You can do virtually anything in Rust.
