JS is absolutely nontrivial to really master, has illogical edgecases and the runtime/compiler doesn't help you with meaningful errors. My knowledge of JS is extensive. Rust is easier, and my bet is, with the right environment much nicer for beginners.
I have to agree with this. Strongly-typed languages with clean semantics are way easier to learn than something like JS. (I learned on BASIC, asm, and Scheme ... so I know several flavors of the pain of trying to learn when there are runtime errors you get no help with.)
I personally strongly prefer Rust to JS, even having done much more JS than Rust in my lifetime. Still, I don't think Rust would be easier for beginners to learn. They can get up and running with JS without learning what the stack and heap are, let alone lifetimes and borrowing.
Well, that also depends a bit what 'up and running' means, i hope to add a new kind of coding-env where design/code hybrid and lots of templates will make this early stage easy. Also the model i have for UI makes borrowchecker fighting quite rare.
I've also seen many novices throw a fit at how illogically complicated JS can be, and to be a 'programmer' you do need a working model of stack/heap/variables, i think. Maybe its time also to realise that being a programmer requires a few basics to be understood.
As a perpetual novice (my coding powers peaked with the Amiga 1200), Javascript looks friendly and nice but is a complete bitch behind your back until you get to know her intimately. Rust... having touched it briefly and only since yesterday, appears elegant and aloof.
