Hey everyone! I'm looking to expand my programming skills and I've already learned Python. I'm trying to decide on my second programming language. I've been considering Rust since it's gaining popularity, but I'm also thinking about C++ and Java. What do you all think? Would love to hear your suggestions!

I'd recommend starting with C. Like you, I began with Python as well, but I found I missed out on learning some essential fundamentals by not tackling C first. While it’s undoubtedly tougher than Python, it lays the groundwork for understanding many modern programming languages better. It might be a challenge, but it’s worth it!
I’d go with Rust! It takes some of the stress out of dependency management, and its ownership model helps you produce cleaner code with fewer bugs. I’ve found it to be a fantastic option for learning about systems programming without the usual headaches.
Thanks for the recommendation!
C++ is definitely a great choice! It's widely used and can give you a strong understanding of object-oriented programming, which is really beneficial for your future projects.
Thanks for the input!
