Bar C if you're into system's programming there's no language you *need* to learn.

Partially agree on this, std lib/crates and ease of use do make a difference (this is not even the main reason to use Rust), though Rust certainly has its own headaches. (Imagine searching for someone's implementation of HashedMap on github or using dedicated packages like glib, when you get it easily at crates.io). Again this is subjective based on use cases.

Not much for authoring new code as much as reading it, it's the lingua franca.
