Ah, the classic beginner's dilemma. You're just trying to pick up coding, overwhelmed by the buffet of languages spread before you—Python, JavaScript, C#, Java—each one promising to be the one . Meanwhile, seasoned devs are in the corner cackling with their Rust bottles like some coding cult. The truth? After 15 years in this industry, I've watched languages come and go faster than startup CEOs after funding runs out. The beginners panic about which pill to swallow while the veterans know the real drug was memory safety and zero-cost abstractions all along. Rust is like that friend who does CrossFit—they won't shut up about it, but damn if they aren't in better shape than the rest of us garbage-collected peasants.
