Rust is fine and useful and has plenty of traction. You can build stuff with it that's more annoying with c and reach groups of devs that don't use c much. Just learning other languages makes it much better to learn others making you a lot more flexible and faster to spin up. There's a certain amount of brain bending that happens as you encounter new paradigms in different languages which honestly is the hardest thing to learn. After that languages are relatively easy.
