Is rust a good language to start with for game development?

I have 6 months experience with rust in building TUIs, crawlers and some cli tools.
Recently, I have got interested in games. I thought of building 2d games with rust. I have no experience in game development. I don't even know anything about building games. I have to start from scratch but I have experience in programming.
Can I start with rust or take any other languages like lua or python and after understanding game basics then start with rust.
Also, any good books or tutorial that explains basics of gaming with rust?
