Unpopular opinion: Rust would be great, maybe even the best first language if it had a really really good tutorial/course/... for complete beginners. The reason is the compiler is your free mentor. Without a great compiler newbies are left alone to solve confusing bugs.
Anyway, I know of no such good resource. Still, some people tried anyway and succeeded.
Doesn't have Rust a very good compiler? -> So it is perfect for beginners, isn't it?
And I think, the problem with a good tutorial/ course/ ... could be solved with a real mentor.
I'm literally 1mm away from learning Rust as my first in-depth language, because it doesn't matter if I learn TS/ JS + Framework for a year or I learn Rust for a year.
Yes, I haven't seen anything producing better error messages than Rust. (Well, nushell is close but that's kinda obvious.)
Sure, give it a shot. Worst case you can try a different one and return to Rust later. I don't think the time wasted doing "context switch" will be large.
