They changed most loved to most admired, but it used essentially the same question.

At this point I lost count how many years this has been going on.

I know some python, a bit of Julia and matlab and remember parts of C, as the first language I picked up.

I was really excited about Rust after reading about it but when I tried to dip my toes in by looking at The Rust Book, I was lost by how complicated it was.

I don't think I'm a coding whiz or extraordinarily smart. Given that do you rustaceans(?) think I could pick it up in a gentle way? Is it worth the time investment given how most of my actual work is basically simulating random processes or dynamic systems?

Two hobbies I picked up in the last year was Rust programming and swimming.

I always find it most enjoyable when I go at a pace I'm comfortable with. The point is to stay motivated and if you are, your growth will be automatically guaranteed. You don't need to be a natural or a genius, you just need to enjoy.

Besides, I'm sure the Rust community is always happy to welcome and support anyone that is curious, I know I am!

I hope that helps, good luck!
