Dictatorial concepts in PL usually fail pretty badly. Rust may become the textbook example of a good idea too far. I'd certainly never use it or use anything written in it given a choice and/or time to rewrite in anything more accessible.

I think "use" in this case is in the sense of a developer using code, rather than an end-user application.
