What's the future of Rust in web development?

Hi there! I am a fullstack developer, i enjoy working in frontend frameworks and metaframeworks like React/Next or Svelte/Sveltekit, but I only enjoy building backends and apis in higher level things like Node.js. I have build backends professionaly in .NET, but I never liked this very OOP style of writing code, this abstraction. This is why I love Node. I rapidly build some apis, little abstractions, same language for frontned and backend, and the performance was always enough for the apps I ve build, either at work or in my personal projects. But, the thing is, I always loved C/C++, low level stuff, and when I started looking into Rust a couple weeks ago, I was hooked.

So, the thing is, I either like more high level stuff (like JS and Node, even Python), or more low level stuff (like C or Rust), but not in the middle (like C# or Java), I am just confused when I m in the middle (does that happen to anyone else?).

My question is: is there a future in fullstack web jobs with Rust on the backend and frontend with the usual frameworks like React/Svelte? Is it worth it to learn Rust more than just a hobby and learn building api s with it, to hope for a fullstack job in the future?
