I went from using primarily C++ to using primarily Python and now to doing some development in Rust. Rust is suitable for systems programming. Like C++, it's also suitable for application programming, which is what most development is. One need not be writing kernels to justify using Rust. At my job, for example, I'm slowly introducing bits of Rust here and there to do some data engineering. I wouldn't use it for high-performance numerical computations, but ergonomically it's almost as easy as Python (for me) and the safety, type, and other guarantees it provides make for a more robust pipeline.
