Hey everyone! I just landed an internship at a big tech company where I'm working on vulnerability research. Right now, I'm tasked with creating tooling and library functions for exploits, and I've been using C++ since I have some familiarity with C. It's been the quickest way for me to contribute and prove my skills.
However, I'm really eager to learn Rust since several team members are using it, and I believe it's the future of systems programming. I've never really studied C++ properly, and my current approach is more like writing C with some C++ standard library usage mixed in. So now I'm at a bit of a crossroads: should I fully commit to modern C++ development, or try starting fresh with Rust to gain enough competence to get through my internship? I would love to hear your thoughts on this! Thanks!

It really depends on your internship requirements. Focus on what they need from you right now. You'll have plenty of time to learn new languages throughout your career, so don't stress too much about it! Rust will come eventually when the time is right.
Are you saying even Go? I guess it applies to all languages!
