It doesn't no, but if I advocate for the language enough and get it used enough, I can guarantee for the entire rest of my career I can maybe avoid ever having to write any more new projects in said languages. I can just avoid jobs where such languages are still used commonly.

Wait ten more years and Rust will become one of these 'said languages'. (Maybe even faster; the Rust people make it their principle to never learn from others' mistakes. There is no way they won't repeat them.)

You're just making stuff up. Most aspects of Rust's design are based on lessons learned from mistakes and good ideas in C++ and other languages. There was a conscious effort to avoid inventing more new things than necessary.
