From someone who is self taught and learned C as a second language, is teaching rust at this stage a great idea? there is a lot of news about rust lately and it very much seems like people are seeing rust as a hammer and the world as nails.

I don't know. To be honest, having taught a lot of programming stuff, I don't think there is any one best approach to learning programming, and it's very hard to figure out what will be easy or hard for someone just learning. People also learn languages for different reasons--for many people, for example, the main reason they're learning is to get a job in the industry, and if that's the case learning Rust is not really a good idea regardless of any of that stuff, since there aren't that many Rust jobs compared to, say, Python or JavaScript jobs.
