Rust-Lang: Questions

Name: Anonymous 2014-03-09 5:30

Anyone here using rust? I'm looking for perspective on how difficult the language would be for a beginner, whether it's worth learning at the moment (I heard about an imminent rewrite of some major syntax).

Alternative: Noob to programming, want to learn rust. Why or why not?

It is near-stable (version 0.9), no imminent rewrites planned.
It will be difficult because you'll have to deal with memory management. So get a grip on C first, then move on to Rust.
Learning a functional language like Haskell or SML/OCaml would of course be easier, but if juggling bytes of memory is what you intend to do as a programmer, go the C->Rust route.
