Why you should learn Rust !!

This article will share why I think you should learn Rust as a software developer and why I am so excited to learn more about Rust!

But first, why Rust?

I heard about Rust a few years back but never dedicated any time to learn it until I read this tweet:

Yes, I shamelessly admit that a tweet from Jack Dorsey made me put learning Rust as a top priority for 2022.

So here we are two weeks into 2022, and I will share my first impressions.

Rust is a statically and strongly typed systems programming language that was demoed for the first time in July 2010.

Rust was created out of frustrations with C++ by Graydon Hoare while working at Mozilla Research.

With Rust, Graydon aimed to pursue the trifecta of Safety, Concurrency, and Speed. From my perspective, Rust is a mix between Python (for the safety aspect) and C++ (for the concurrency and speed aspect).

Why is Rust such a great language, and why did I(maybe Jack too) fall in love with it?
