Recently the federal government issued a security advisory encouraging all new development to be done in Rust. I'm not sure the extent of which agencies this was meant to cover but it struck me as very unrealistic having just done years of java development for a state agency.

Yes that is correct, I had read a different article that had a more rust first focus. I just tried to google for a reference to the news release I was referencing, but yea it doesn't really support my comment :(
Rust is "only" mentioned in the context of a C / C++ replacement, which tends to be a different area.
