I stand by my claim that Rust is worthy of consideration even if you’re just starting out as a developer. Despite being a low-level programming language, Rust is remarkably easy to read and write. In contrast, the syntax of C and C++ does not abstract away low-level details, making code in these languages efficient but harder to parse as a human. (I still think C++ is worth learning because of its prevalence.)

If you’re an experienced professional developer or manager, you should still consider learning Rust. It can save you time and effort, and if you know C or C++ already, Rust’s similar syntax can make it relatively easy to pick up. Finally, learning Rust might help you stay ahead of the competition, as more companies are using Rust in production.
