Starting with rust isn't a good idea. Rust is a fairly complicated language, starting with it will demotivate most people.

If you're new to programming, I think Go is a great place to start in 2023. Next would be python or JS.

Get to Rust eventually.

Hard disagree about not starting with Rust. Rust will teach you the fundamentals of how computers work in a way that high-level languages like Python and JS won't. I know many long term Python/JS devs who never get beyond the basics of understanding in computer science, and it shows in the quality of their work.

Actually I recommend new learners start with a little bit of C and C++ before anything else. Rust would be a great option after that.

If someone wants to start with a systems language then they should probably start with C, not Rust.

C teaches you about memory better than Rust.
