depends on what you want to do

for fun?

#

actually no C should be preferred anyways imo

#

rust is too much

#

||writing code in it feels like touching yourself without lotion||

#

rust should be a next step once you have the knowledge in systems programming

silver folio
#

hmm, i see. so focus more on c?

placid rapids
#

since 95% of the resources you find about systems programming will be with C or C++

silver folio
#

but isnt rust a systems language

silver folio
placid rapids
#

but it's new

#

C and C++ are more established

#

once you get the knowledge learning rust is only a matter of transferring that knowledge

silver folio
#

hmm, you're right

#

after all, i shouldnt be too much worried about this

placid rapids
#

yeah

#

just pick and stick with it

silver folio
#

yup alright.

#

thanks man

#

i think im gonna stick with c

placid rapids
#

yeah I think systems programming is one of the few places where C makes sense as a first language

#

dangerous code is everywhere (because you're low level) and C doesn't try to stop that

silver folio
#

right

A thing with rust is that it's a relatively much more complicated language. C is a layer of abstraction just above the assembly, so it's simpler overall. Rust has quite a high entry level, with a steep learning curve

#

That being said, Rust is much better programming language than C for most new projects, unless you target some niche microcontroller architectures
