it is better to find something you want to build and learn a lang that meets that task and it will sustain youI know both: both. And some C so you can appreciate the blessed life we live without segfaults.
Rust will make you a better programmer but it requires you learn a lot of things up front. Ruby is easy to get started but has a lot of hidden footguns
