What I really like about it (apart from being a really nicely designed language, that is very expressive, powerful, performant and one of the safest because of the strict typing/memory management), is that you can kind of focus on just programming, without all the hassles around setting up a project, thinking about building/deploying etc. as tooling is really awesome as well (rust-analyzer, cargo, crates.io etc.). Libraries are usually high-quality and innovative (which is IMHO not so true for a lot of different other languages, including the ones you mentioned). E.g. if you want to create a web-server/API you could try something like this (my current recommendation): https://github.com/tokio-rs/axum and https://github.com/launchbadge/sqlx for good integration of typed sql in Rust or if you want something higher level: https://github.com/SeaQL/sea-orm
A good starter would be https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/
