I am essentially a art student who picked up some python and C along the way. I feel very comfortable with Rust (started a year ago). Make sure to read the books and maybe consider buying "Programming Rust" by Blandy & Orendorff which is easily one of the best language books I ever read, especially when combined with the free books available online.

I found the hardest part was stopping myself from using concepts I learned from python (e.g. Object Oriented stuff). I tried to make everything as class-like as possible. This always worked for a bit and then quickly started to make things immensly complicated. This was in fact never really necessary to solve the problem at hand. I learned to love custom data types, traits and the ability to just (for example) make my own Vec and extend it with some specialized functionality.

Rust has a incredibly good tooling and I use it more than Python nowadays.
