I seriously doubt that. First of all, there are relatively few job openings at Indeed (USA) for Rust programming...a couple thousand compared to 40,000-100,000+ for the top five languages (Python, Java, JavaScript, C#, C++).

Second, the vast majority of software developers in the IT industry are not sophisticated enough to handle something like Rust programming. These include data scientists who use Python, web developers who use JavaScript, business programmers who use Java, and so on. They want relatively easy-to-use languages.

Third, the vast majority of software applications are not performance-sensitive...they don't need maximum execution speed, they don't need concurrency, they don't need efficient memory management. Which is precisely why Python, JavaScript, Java, and C# are so widely used.
