I posit Rust has a poor return on investment. If you're going to spend time learning a new language then make it a language that completely changes how you think about programming: something like Clojure, Scheme or Haskell. Even if you never create a single system using these languages you will be a better programmer for having learned them. I'm not so sure the same can be said for Rust.
