Feedback needed from first low-level language learners of Rust
I wrote a fairly long post on how it happened for me. Starts out with how Logo turned me off programming as a child and a bunch of other stuff, and the part that relates to learning Rust as a first language starts at the "That was when I gave Rust a try for the first time" part.

Should I learn another language?
I have a blog post on that given how rare it is, but the tl;dr of it is that Rust completely cured my wanderlust for other languages and the more I saw if it the more I wanted to see. With other languages I just found myself wondering if it was really the best use of my time and whether I should be learning another one instead.

As my first programming language, should I learn Rust? I have zero programming or computer science experience.
Too late! I already did it as my first language.
-
Is this a good resource to learn Rust?
Indeed I can - I wrote a whole post about it. The key takeway is that it was the perfect first language for me because it was the first language where I never felt wanderlust for others while learning.
-
People who learned rust as their first language, what made you choose it?
It's my first language (unless you include Basic in the 80s) because it's the only one where I didn't feel wanderlust for any other languages after I discovered it. I had tried like 10 others and kept switching, only learning the basics. I wrote a long post on the experience here.

Finding a Path As a Self-Taught Software Developer
I did some traveling around the western US in late 2022 to take stock of where my life was and where I was going. During that time I decided that I would go all-in with my coding education, and committed to learning the remaining material listed on those bootcamp syllabi that I had not yet studied – namely, connecting the pieces of the MERN stack; learning about automated testing and data structures & algorithms; and studying development paradigms & methodologies like Agile, Scrum & Kanban, and OOP design patterns & principles – as well as continue to develop my programming fundamentals on platforms like Leetcode and Codewars.

RegEx: Decoding the Symbols
My first encounter with regular expressions was in a solution for a coding problem on Codewars, specifically Count the smiley faces! Which asks you to count the number of smiley faces in a given array but the catch is each smiley can have 1 of 2 kinds of eyes (: or ;), may or may not have a nose represented by 1 of 2 symbols (- or ~), and 1 of 2 symbols (D or ) ) for the smile. In total there are 12 different combinations that are a valid smiley. I, being the young and naive programmer I was, hard coded all 12 of those faces and checked every element against that list. And it worked! But the top solution included some strange syntax that I had never seen before

Best resource to learn python?
@OP DO NOT go on the path of perfecting it and parting with your time and money. Go with Jake Vanderplas's whirlwind tour of python whirlwind tour of python to get some basics and then jump into the river codewars and swim upstream daily and religiously until you reach to katas level 5. You will be good to go. My personal experience.
