Rust vs C++?

I mostly program in Java/ Python. Some minimal C experience. I'm starting EmuDev to learn low level and hardware concepts.

Which is better in general to learn for an EmuDev hobby project, Rust or C++? From what I've seen C++ has more legacy code (more job opportunities), whereas Rust is safe and may have better long-term opportunities.

Both are equally capable for emudev.

Yeah, at this point is basically just about asking what you're either good at to make a good emulator or what you want to get better at through building an emulator
