Rust is better than C++, but it's not extremely better than C++.
Rust is a modern language with very good concepts and features. It's quite complicated to learn.
My answer is it will be a good language, but won't be a top language.
You can always ask these questions to reject a candidate because you don't like his body odor.
I faced the similar problem. I invested some money in Effective Modern C++(Scott Mayer). It covers the language part. I borrowed a book for C++11 concurrency. But, modern C++ lacks high-quality material at one place like Golang/Rust(the language guys have very good documentation, not boring and good enough to learn quickly). There are tons of scattered example.

std::optional and std::any are one of the good things. std::apply and std::invoke can help you write better functional c++17 code.
Anyway thanks for C++17. For sometime, I thought I will learn Rust.
I know many people who studied life science subjects like Chemistry or Physics and got jobs in top cs companies. Most of them were self taught(physics dudes use some level of programming )
To be a programmer, you need to have a solid problem-solving skill. Pick up a language(invest money in books in any one programming language, DS and Algo, OOPS) and invest time in websites like hackerrank.
You can easily build anything on the above skills. No matter how well you studied basic database and os stuffs, you will always need a google search before using in real life.
There are many languages for backends and tons of libraries. But there is hardly any substitute of Java in Android(if you don't consider JS solving every problem in this planet). If JetBrains only concentrate on building an ecosystem for android, it can become "the real Swift for android".
I built a dummy app for android in Kotlin. It was great. The same thing I tried in Scala(it didn't go very well).
Big data is mostly used when you want to monetize those comments.
