It is good as the first commercial experience, but for being a cool programmer the first lang has to be either Lisp or anything you like from Array programming.

I personally would still go with C as the first language since it teaches you low-level details ... but, the next one, yes, it should be Rust.

Why do you want to learn to program?

Not for making iPhone apps.

Not if you’re doing websites either.

I guess a better question would be what you are building before asking what tool to use

I've learned C++ first, personally, it is a little difficult to adapt the syntax of Rust. But many says it is a good programming language....
