Rust hype seems to have got ahead of language maturity and stability. Most new languages get a period of attention and experimenting but eventually the rubber has to hit the road. In the case of Rust I think it can only attract senior devs using C++ in large numbers, for serious work, and that group will likely resist change without a compelling 10x improvement along some axis. The huge crowds of Python and JS programmers might tinker with Rust but I doubt Rust will make inroads in those environments.
Go got more traction but hasn’t made a big dent in the C++ or Java numbers. Go got to stable and mature faster too.
A few Linux kernel devs use Rust, maybe that will help it break out of hobbyist mode.
