I'm not sure whether I'd recommend Rust.
Learning it will definitely make you a better c/c++ developer. It'll beat memory safety into you with whatever you give it.
That said, although it does have great c abi interop, it doesn't build on as many platforms as c. And I think there might be some knob or levers that c provides for low level stuff that rust doesn't expose on stabe yet (SIMD, const stuff, and probably more)
That said, I think once you get past the borrow checker, programming in rust is considerably more enjoyable.
