Say a Uber driver asked you if driving a Honda sedan was good for his driving career. What would you say to him.

Or if you prefer a more historical analogy it’s like a free mason saying is using one particular brand of construction materials good for his career. What would you say to him.

Don’t forget we software engineers are just modern day free masons.

Whether rust becomes a good choice or not is based directly on what you learned from using it and not just developing with it. A goog Career is based knowledge and or experience compounding. When you start with that in mind the language doesn’t matter as much as the learning. Language is just a tool at that point. Sure knowing how to use multiple tools is good. But that kind of differentiator will only get you so far.

Good luck!
