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 @seb @freemo @jump_spider Rust is a Very Cool and Good language. You'll save yourself a lot of unlearning if you jump right in, as long as you push through the beginning learning curve!

I’m up for the curve.

But wrt to having a grasp of fundamentals what would you advise? Suppose I learn C only to learn the fundamentals of low leve systems.

Is that a good decision?

@Full_marx @seb @freemo @jump_spider id say learn rust. The fundamentals will come. You don't need to know exactly how memory management works from the outset.
