The more commoditised the compute resources are, the more significant the cost of human expertise as part of TCO.

Does Rust really offer an easier path for the coder to model data analytics? Eg, for a given model, is the time to implement x cost/hr for a Rust coder less than that of a Java one?

    time_to_implement * cost/hr + cost_of_bug_damage * P(bug) + time_to_fix_bugs * cost/hr + cost_of_deployment_hw
The dream of Rust is that P(bug) and cost_of_deployment_hw are less.
