Instead of learning weird new stuff like rust or go, I find that c/c++ and python cover the entire range of problems you will ever need to solve. It takes a lot of time to start being productive in rust/go, and the benefits are vague. Instead I'd rather learn to use C++ and python better. |

After coding in Rust for several weeks I went back to C++ for my day-to-day work since I'm still more productive with it and the code I produce has no safety/security implications. The knowledge gained in those few weeks of Rust readily translated into C++ skill improvements, even though I already considered myself a solid C++ programmer before. Being forced to think about ownership, borrowing, move semantics, etc. constantly gets you into a mindset that is very helpful also outside of Rust.
