I have no prior knowledge of low level programming.

My question to all.

Should I jump straight into Rust ?

or should I do C, C++ in order to fully understand the abstractions in rust?

@seb @freemo @jump_spider -- please help and do tag pro coders and builders like yourself (I don't wanna waste all my time here discussing politics, need to make friends with knowledgeable people).

ps - where do i donate to qoto

@Full_marx @freemo @jump_spider I say: Jump right into Rust. No need to punish yourself with lower level programming languages, unless you need to program very limited hardware.

@seb @freemo @jump_spider I wanna some day work in defence.

Cyber security specifically

They say was written in python and then in rust.

But I don’t want to miss out on the funamentals. But i also don’t wanna punish myself as you said.

If i pick a task too tough I might end up loosing interest.

@Full_marx

Yea its good to start where you have fun, sure. Just keep in mind in the long run not to become one of those one trick ponies. I know far too many coders who try to do everything in that one language they love and nothing else... They tend to be horrible programmers :( If you are a hammer everything starts looking like nails :)
