		ModernMech 5 months ago \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Top Programming Languages 2025 I would say yes. I have experience teaching Rust to ~20 yo students of Java, and they are able to be productive in Rust within a semester. Your median Java and C# dev should be able to use Rust. Dunno about Python devs.

Sure they can use it, and learn it in a semester.

Also: good you use Rust in teaching!

But I want a fast on-ramp, quick iterations and clean looking code. (and went with Kotlin because of that -- I like Rust more myself, but I have a business to run, so tradeoffs)
