I've been "a rust dev" for 4 years, and I honestly can't see Rust not becoming a majorly used language. It's just so _nice_ to use. And I don't mean just "write" also mean "refactor" and "read" which honestly have been some of the hardest things to do in C (the last major language I, I dunno, specialized in(?)). Between the compiler pointing out when you're too sleep deprived to be writing what you're writing or the general "write what you mean, even if it takes a few more keystrokes and the compiler yelling at you a time or two" attitude that seems to pervade the rust community, it's just a nice language to continue to develop in.
Which, again, this is maybe self-serving, but it really feels like a incredibly good long-term investment to learn. Even if you don't end up using it professionally (somehow) the compiler teaches you how to write better low level code.
