Rust won't give you a lot that Go doesn't give you.

Certainly not a better salary. Beyond that... Rust forces you to care about allocation, deallocation, borrowing, all the low level stuff, while not necessarily being faster.

To me it doesn't feel like Rust beats Typescript or Go as a higher level language at what Typescript is good at, and I don't see why that would change. Some performance critical things to port to WASM maybe...

It may not be a good enough reason to switch, but Rust is nearly always faster than Go. Most of the time orders of magnitude faster.

Not at compiling! And for many situations fast iteration beats fast runtime. Python is a great example of this.
