Do you think Rust is a good language for beginners?

I've learned some Python, so I understand the very basics of programming, like arrays and variables.

I've heard that Rust is becoming increasingly popular, and apparently even parts of Windows are being rewritten in Rust, so I'm thinking about learning it next.

Do you think Rust is a good choice for someone who's still a programming beginner? Or would it be better to learn something like C++ first before moving on to Rust?
