as a born again rustacean I can confirm that you should. there's an absolute shitton of hype around Rust and almost all of it is true. I could go on for half an hour about fearless concurrency
Ok, but, does it really feel like a gigantic vibrator in my ass? Cause that sounds like an important feature.
I've never had a gigantic vibrator in my ass, so I wouldn't know. ^I^ ^am^ ^open^ ^to^ ^new^ ^experiences,^ ^though.^ But I can tell you this.
Rust is not not an easy language to learn, even for experienced programmers who have little trouble picking up e.g. JavaScript. There's a lot of new syntax and a few new concepts that other languages don't have, and you'll find yourself doing a lot of mental rewiring to get yourself into the "Rust mindset", but but it is sooooooooooo worth it. It's such a cool feeling writing a program in two hours that blasts through four million lines of CSV in 50 milliseconds. Every Rust newbie spends their first few weeks wrestling nonstop with the borrow checker, but once you learn the ins and outs, and how to make it work for you, it gives you wings. It's like the first How To Train Your Dragon movie. It's an incredible feeling.

I wasn't thinking to learn Rust, but now I do.
