There's a tradeoff, a high inital cognitive load for people learning the language vs the long term pay off of less bugs in production.

There are plenty of people who have spent time learning rust but haven't had a chance to use it on a production project. I would start looking there.

It has not been proved large, long-lived Rust projects have fewer bugs than large, long-lived Python/Ruby projects.

That's not how startups work.

Yeah I would just find a motivated junior Node.js dev, and commit to training them up for a month or so.
