Is it too early to learn Rust?

Question

IT education

Hello. At the moment I write in Golang and Python (I don't work as a programmer, just for self-development and further employment) at the beginner level, not ready for complex commercial projects. And I really liked Rust, but due to the fact that Rust is not as popular as Go, there are very, very few vacancies in the Russian Federation (about 100 throughout Russia). Isn't it too early to learn Rust as a first language for work? How fast is its popularity growing? You don't need advice like "learn Go while you're at it, get a job and then you'll improve Rust" as well. if I work with Go, I will work with Go at home in order to improve my skill, and being distracted by another language that is not used in my work is not the best option. Thanks in advance to everyone for the replies.

Answer 1

I think it's worth learning Rust right now because the language is promising. Vacancies will begin to appear in a couple of years. The language is difficult, so it takes time to learn it. Until you learn and the market will catch up.
By that time you will be in the top developers with real experience.
Rust has good potential to supplant C, especially since its design is conducive to efficient use in multi-threaded systems. In view of the upcoming boom in ARM processors, the prospect is very tempting.
At the moment, Rust + work abroad (freelance) is quite a normal prospect.

Answer 2

It is better to be the first to learn the language in which there are really a lot of vacancies. Not only is it not Rust, it's not even Go.

Answer 3

I love Rust and have been writing it at work for several years, but if we talk about a beginner who wants to learn a language purely for money, then I agree that Rust is currently not a particularly optimal career rate. There are more and more rusty vacancies, but getting an interesting job with Rust on the stack is still a quest (especially if there are no cool rusty hobby projects in the portfolio).

Answer 4

Late.
