Yeah no, "scientists", this wonderful general category that means nothing and everything, in general, are not turning to Rust.
Programming is a niche. Rust is a, albeit amazing and gaining traction at a fast pace, niche in this niche.
99% of mathematicians, physicists and biologists I have worked with have not even tried programming yet. And if they do, they will start with the stuff their friends are already using: python, fortran, etc.
Hell, 99% of the dev have not heard of rust yet. I go from companies to companies, every time I talk about rust, I have to explain what it is.
It's not even living in a bubble if you think that, it's living in an bubble from another dimension.
Having generalization from anecdotal evidence in nature.com is kinda ironic if you think about it.
