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.

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 :)
