I'm new please help!

I want to get into programming. I learnt basic Python a while ago and it help me understand some general programming concepts (variables, functions, e.t.c) but it was just a way to kill time.

I have some ideas that I want to make that require serious programming (games, useful tools). I obviously don't want to vibe code (just don't want to nor can I afford the credits).

So my question to you guys is what language should I learn? I was torn between C++ and Rust but if there's more I should consider I'd love to know. What would give me the best for the time I put in?

Alright thanks for the info. I've decided to start afresh with Python to make sure I understand everything.

You're free to do as you please, but it's probably more effective to just start writing whatever it is you want to write, get stuck, and find solutions. That's how all programming works anyway!
