  1. 2:45 When I started real programming, I installed Linux and the command line. Before I used Game Maker on Windows for a few years. I started with JavaScript, and now I'm learning Rust along with C. I find knowing C helps me understand why Rust is doing what it's doing.

  2. 4:10 I think, you need to start with a program, which doesn't require you a lot of effort until you can see anything. The language doesn't matter too much. Maybe a simple rendering lib, which can at least draw circles of different sizes would be enough. There should be a simple example program, which starts a loop, and already draws a circle in the middle of the screen. The newbie would just experiment with it. What if I increase the x position by 1? What if I double the radius? How can I draw multiple circles at different positions? How can I mutate state and move the circles around? This is totally possible in Rust, too.
