It’s been 8 years since I learned Elixir and since then I have not tried to learn another programming language. I have now decided to learn a systems programming language, and it seems like a good time to be learning about them. New languages like Vale and Rust combine the memory safety of a high-level language with the performance of C. Rust is very popular today but there are many other new systems languages with similar characteristics. Zig, Vlang, Nim are a few that come to mind.
