Is RUST useful for a scientist?

Dear Community,

I am a Physicist and work a bit on robotics. I work with Julia, Python and some what C++.

I got rusty in C++ and thought of working on it again. However, I have heard RUST is some thing very cool.

Shall I start learning RUST or would C++ is fine for me? I am learning for pleasure purposes mainly.

Also, as a scientist would it be any useful?
