Should I learn Solidity, Rust or both for smart contract development?
Hey everyone,
So I'm trying to figure out whether I should learn Solidity or Rust for smart contracts and honestly getting pretty confused by all the different advice out there.
My background - I've been coding in Python and Java for a few years but totally new to blockchain stuff. Keep seeing job posts for both but can't decide which way to go.
Here's what I'm wondering:
Is the Solidity job market still good or is it getting saturated?
Heard Rust devs make more money but not sure if that's actually true
Everyone talks about EVM compatibility - does that mean I should just stick with Solidity?
Coming from Python, which one would be easier to pick up?
I want to land a smart contract developer job within the next year or so. Remote work would be ideal since I'm not in a major tech hub.
Anyone have experience with both? What would you recommend for someone starting out? Also if you know any good resources or learning paths that would be awesome.
Thanks!
