> Everyone should learn Rust.

I know this feels like a positive vibe post and I don’t want to yuck anyone’s yum, but speaking for myself when someone tells me “everyone should” do anything, alarm bells sound off in my mind, especially when it comes to programming languages.



I think everyone should learn many different programming languages, because being exposed to different paradigms helps develop programming skill.


Yeah I agree, I enjoy the process. I don’t think that’s what’s behind “everyone should learn rust” in this case, and many cases. It feels like a “cause”.
