I heartily disagree that you have to be smart to use Rust. I'm a ho-hum CRUD web programmer with enterprise credentials and versed in dynamic languages, and I was able to pick up Rust quite easily as my first systems programming language ever. The hardest part isn't even learning the language, the hardest part is figuring out the essential differences that separate the systems programming domains and the high-level dynamic domains.
That's a great endorsement. I was going to do my next experimental app in Go, but this really makes me want to use Rust.
