so I'm the sort of dude who spends most of his time on data analysis. i prefer to do stuff with numpy and make plots with altair/vegaLite. sometimes I write webapps using django, flask, or simple python CGI. i know html and css pretty well, and I can get by in javascript if I can use jQuery. i do some coding in java for some web-based "control systems", and if i need to write something to crunch numbers or do something really fast, i'll hack out a C++ or C program to do it. i have some chops at bash/shell scripting that i developed when i needed to do long annoying command-line tasks. and the kind of writing i do requires it to be typeset in TeX to get all the equations pretty. that's a good cross section of what i know as far as programming goes
i hear people clamoring about Rust, but nobody i work with has ever used it. is it worth learning, or should i stick with my old-fashioned shit? i don't want to learn something new if it's never really going to explode, but supposedly Rust has what it takes. does it?
