As someone who is using Rust in production for a year now [0], albeit in a different industry -- webdev, I really like the language. Sure, the first steps were rough, but eventually DX became decent, and the safety guarantees of Rust allow me to have a safe mind when developing and deploying (something I can't say about other popular dynamic languages).
Having said that, I agree with one of the commenters in this thread: Rust is essentially a solution looking for a problem. It is a great language, but it fails to find its niche. Rust developers are nowhere to be found, companies are not hiring Rust developers (except if you want to work in crypto).
