As a fan of Rust, NO. I think it would only discourage them, but I never tried teaching, so I might be wrong.
Case in point - users that started out with Linux get used to Linux and its paradigms. Maybe it’s the same??? Or maybe not.

Tbh I think one of the main difficulties of Rust is that it works in ways that are quite unusual if you’re used to other programming languages. So maybe that particular difficulty is eliminated for people who’ve never programmed before, but yeah, I imagine it probably is still not an ideal first language.
