Learning sole CS first is probably a good idea, but I don't agree with the reasoning. C++ exposes the underlying hardware to a large degree, and if you don't understand it, you'll be allowed to break stuff easily and before you know it. This is much harder to do in Rust. You don't need to know anything about function pointers, interrupts, registries, virtual tables, and what not, in order to follow the memory model. The unsafe parts, is a different story, so I suppose there is a limit. But Rust and C++ are fairly far apart imo.
