Give it time. Once Fortran was king.
Yeah, in particular, you can write libraries in Rust, which can be used in virtually any other programming language, similar to how you can do in C and C++. And given that not a ton of young kids learn C/C++, there's a chance that the majority of important cross-language libraries (like OpenSSL, SQLite etc.) are written in Rust in a decade or two.
You're still using BLAS if you really need high-performing matrix calculations tho'
