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?

Yeah 100%

Learn about one concept at a time and take it slow. Look at something like options and understand how they work, then results, then the borrow checker etc and just take it slow. There are a lot of new concepts that are used all the time in rust but not in python, you just need time to learn em
