I'd recommend that only for those who know that they are in the top 5% or so of programmers (as HN is almost by definition a self-selected DK hothouse, I realise this can be a hard judgement to make, but a bit of self-reflection can go a long way). I'm a below to average programmer, and don't believe I'll ever be able to understand Rust well enough to use it productively. I have my reasons to nonetheless still be teaching myself Rust, but expected fluency is not among those reasons. Rust is just too hard for most programmers, and literally every non-'star' I've known (other than myself!) has given up on it.

If, self-deception aside, you really are a superior programmer, it's an excellent tool, a joy to use, and is going to be a good choice for an increasingly wide spread of domains.
