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?

It's certainly growing fast. And yeah, tops the desired charts.

Python did that for years, and is now at number 4 (after the big three JavaScript, SQL and HTML).

I, too, see great things in the future for Rust.

I also agree, Rust is likely top 20, but it feels (from hjobs search anecdotes from peers) like there's a massive drop off in real world use after the top 8 or 10.

But again, my concern was entirely misplaced, as they're not picking their first break-into-coding language, anyway.
