What essential skills/knowledge would you say are/is required to work as a Rust dev?

I did couple of small/mediumish personal projects in Rust using axum with sea-orm and later tauri with leptos. That's on top of many years of experience working as a Java/Javascript dev and occasionally touching things like Python or Flutter. Most of things like databases and web stuff is transferable but what strictly Rust concepts are required to work as a Rust dev? In what fields it's used the most?

That's my favorite part about rust. Each step of the program is so well defined. No wondering if something will be uninitialized, throw, be null, or worse, what type of data you are working with in the first place. The option and result types have made working in languages without them a slog.
