Do it. 

 say what?
 

 Rust is not very hard when you change your viewpoint in general. I found out that for a complete beginner point of view it is as easy as any other language, as an analogy think about this Chinese children learn one of the most difficult languages in the world yet they do so in the same pace that American children learn the english language.

At the same time, a older person that had contact with lots of other languages my have a easier time learning Chinese.

Same is with Rust, if you first language was something like JavaScript/TypeScript, Python, Java or any other with more mainstream syntax then that explains the difficulty most people have in learning Rust. Think about Gaussian Distributions, few people are on the "small children that never learned a language" or the "older dude that learned a few languages and know how to learn new ones easily" ends of the spectrum. Most people are in the middle of the spectrum where they learned something and they have bias towards it making it very difficult to learn anything else.

Which enter in another topic I'll not discuss in this topic which is about how important the first programming language is for beginners.

Oh, and finally answering your question, yes it is totally worth it :D

Hope this helped you with your research and good studying :) 

 Same here ;-; 

 Agorism ftw! 

 I'm a software engineer myself, wanna chat? 

 Totally feels like O'reilly book covers ngl.
