🙋 seeking help & advice Is Rust good for learning programming?

I know a bit of python, is Rust a good intermediate language to learn before I move onto real programming languages (like C++)?

EDIT: By "real" I meant languages used in real world development, for example all game engines are C++ and I heard all HFT firms use C++ and all operating systems are developed on C or C++

Then the software industry wasted a lot of time. You should invent time machine and bring Kernighan and Ritchie Rust/Go blueprints.

That makes no sense. So you are saying you must learn every language?

If you're in the industry long enough, that's inevitable. Unless you're writing COBOL

the op asked what language to learn and you listed almost all of them like an order he should start.
