Rust, Go, C++11 or Julia? Which would you choose and why

What domain. That's a good question which I never thought of while considering my options. The problem I have is that I have lots of interests and each one may lean toward a different language:

- Web development (Go looks like the clear winner here)

- Graphics (C++11 or Rust)

- Big data/number crunching (C++11)

- OS development (C/C++, but possibly Rust)

I'm conflicted. After spending 10 happy years in my previous language of choice, I really don't think I have the mental capacity to learn all of the above. First Word Problems?

You certainly the have mental capacity to start learning all the above. To become a master is another goal. But having wider horizons helps always. I recommend learning by doing. Set the simple goals, use one of the languages you consider. Then repeat.

Then you may want to taste each one of them and make your decision;) I spent my collage years, about 4 years, to have almost all of my interests tried.
