Odin or Rust (self.programming)

I'm currently suffering a dilemma and I’m considering using Odin over Rust.

I was hoping for friendly and positively constructive assessments of which language and why from anyone who wishes to answer?

Thanks for the counterpoint.

I always worry about the kids breaking in running after the next hot thing, and then not landing a job, because I've talked to folks who did so.

I was needlessly worried, as they're picking for a hobby project, anyway.

And as someone else pointed out, Rust is on its way up. I just wouldn't recommend Rust to a newbie as their first language to land their first job, today.
