Hi everyone, I just chose to learn rust. Ive got experience with Linux and I know some html and CSS. I know rust is different but id really like to learn it. Any advice?
Welcome! I think it is possible to learn Rust as your first programming language. But it will be quite challenging and if you wanted to learn a simpler language first, no one would blame you for that. For example, Typescript and Go are easier to learn, and both have static type systems, so they have at least some similarity to Rust.
Have you seen the learning resources on the Rust web page?:
Cheers mate, yes I'm reading the book.
Sounds good. If you have questions while reading the book, feel free to post here.
If you use Reddit, it may be also useful to ask on r/rust or r/learnrust, where there is a lot of people possibly younger people than here.
Remember though that not all advice is the best on reddit.
I am reasonably new and it has been challenging for me indeed, but everyone is different.
I think that considering what exactly you would like to do with it and how long are you willing to spend on it etc could be important questions to think about.
I've got Reddit but I use it for maths. I am finishing high school, just got a year left, and I've always loved maths and computers. So now I thought that it would be fun to learn rust and Im going for it. I'll join /rust and be careful of who I listen to. Thanks mate

html and CSS are way different than rust.
The fact that html and CSS are very complicated and difficult and you can figure them out give me hope that your brain can figure out rust.
I suggest stalking this forum for a while. There is a lot to learn here. And of course ask questions yourself if you get stuck.
p.s. Read the book.
