XSLT

eXtensible Stylesheet Language Transformations

Largely, I believe it is used to restructure XML documents.

The more Rust I write, the less I want to write anything else.

Anything in particular you were stuck with? In general, read The Book all the way through, it's great and should get you going, and also don't get too attached to a solution. You may find your first instinct for a problem is not the best way in Rust - if you're getting frustrated with the compiler, you might need to rethink what you're trying to do instead of trying to appease the compiler into making this thing work.

I know someone who worked in the old days of computers and had to use assembly in the 70s and 80s and he made me SCARED of it.

Software is a means to an end - gotta have an end.

I get that, I have almost no knowledge of the CPU or the deep working of a computer I think I will look in to it though.

I would have to say Java and C, as those are the only languages I'd feel comfortable developing an application in right now.

Java, Python, and C. Out of those three, I would say Java (and other java-based languages) are the ones I use the most.

Hands down. Decided to write up a bunch of articles on using it.

Basically it is a compiled scripting language, with low level power.

The compile time execution makes for very powerful code generation and is fun.
