Comment on Ask HN: How do you decide which language/tech stack to learn?

Comments

The real question is how you decide where to invest your time/energy next?

Everyone is going to say they have X or Y good reason and their choice reflects the deep thoughts they have put into carefully weighing pros and cons, while coming up with this decision.

I picked the next language I learned by looking at the hype. Rust was the most beloved programming language of the year when I started learning it. That was it.

And how did that work out?

Very very well. I don't think I'll ever regret getting into Rust. The whole development experience is a great delight !

I'm now an sort of evangelist for data-heavy projects that want to use more Rust instead of Python.
