DO NOT LISTEN TO THE FUCKING HYPE FOR FUCKS SAKE!

I don't think you can go from PHP to Rust and expect to work on the same kind of projects! Are there any jobs in Rust for webdev currently?

Are you sure Rust is a great lang for webdev (meaning, is it worth it?)?

Regarding revolutionary tech:

1. Bootstrap is just a theme. 2. Backbone/Angular are js libs and can be used with whatever backed lang. 3.Node IS NOT revolutionary. 4. Nosql should be used ONLY when needed (ex: elasticsearch when you want good search, redis when you want really good performance, cassandra/hbase/etc when you have more data than you can fit in a server with 1TB RAM). 5. I guess you can use HHVM with php. 6. Hadoop, is the same as 4. 7. Spark is the same as 4. 8.Go, is at most meh. 9. React:see 2. 10.Graphql I don't think php is blocking here. 11. Rust is like, a better c++/c. Are you doing any c++/c/java/low-level ? 11. Swift is not revolutionary, just a lighter objective c.

If you want a language to do everything, I'm afraid only c/java/c++ can do that. But even though the language can, doesn't mean you client will like you using c for your webdev project. What is this "didn't have a change to learn python"?.

So your dream is what ? To move off PHP? And to work on what kind of projects ?

I would recommend python (since it can do daemons etc) and is easier and there are more jobs and then go/try Rust . If you think you'll learn Rust-lang and then either find webdev jobs in rust, or find a job hacking databases/low-levely-stuff in it, you will find it's a little hard. (because there's no rust-web-dev and doing low-levely-stuff is hard, you need to know data-structures,algos,caches etc).
