Nah but thats because it may suddently dissapear in a year as its still young and we dont know if it will be adopted or not, generally for first languages i'd learn something that has no chance of going away for the next years, something like Java, C#, Python, C++, JS

rust is a fad.

if youre not quite sure of your gender and pointers are too hard its a great option

I heard that it forces you to use good programming habits and once you learn how to program, picking up another language is pretty easy. I figured it would be for me to be railroaded into good practices even if the language drops off.

Python is your safest bet as a newbie. Rust is a powerful language but throws too much features upfront at newcomers (generics, macros, traits, references and ownership system, etc.), could be overwhelming if you have no prior experience with these kind of concepts from other easier to grasp languages.

Always start with C

>I heard that it forces you to use good programming habits
The only language like that is C, because it will wreck your computer if you program wrong
