Welcome back! Python and Rust are awesome programming languages, but how do they compare? Let’s take a look at which programming language you should learn, Python or Rust?

Python Advantages

Now, let’s take a look at some advantages for Python.

Python has a massive community

A huge reason to use Python over Rust is the massive community behind Python. Rust still has a big (and growing) community as well, but I feel like whenever I have a problem with Python, i’m able to find more solutions within Python than Rust. Also, i’ve found that there are more packages available for Python + more documentation as well, so if you’re always running into a lot of issues when creating projects, maybe Python maybe a better way to go.

More Machine learning capability

Although Machine Learning can be done with Rust and Python, almost all of the Machine Learning projects i’ve built was built out using Python just because of the documentation / packages available. From what i’ve read, alot of these Machine Learning packages are built out in Python…
