I've got a site designer friend who makes effective chatrooms for streaming content, he recommends I learn rust as I want to do the same sort of work he does. Anyone have any experience or opinions on it ?
I would try and learn something more used like python and then you can move on to learn other languages especially if you don't have a lot of experience in programming you want something more common
I disagree. Rust is the crazy good when it comes to learning how to write good code.
The compiler gives better explanations than any other language out there. It's also very strict and low level, so you'll probably learn a thing or two about how computers work.
All dependant on if this is your first language or not, I personally learnt with Java but most wouldn't recommend this. I'd tell you to go for Python as its friendly for a beginner
