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?

I'll second Rustlings as a great learning experience. I haven't had a chance to try it out, but The Book now has a link to a more interactive version that looks great.
