That's a very new change. The first Rust beta version just came out in December 2024: https://fishshell.com/blog/fish-4b/

I switched to the beta on the day it was released and haven't had one single issue with it. That was the smoothest rewrite I've ever seen.

Glad it went well! I'd still be using it if it weren't for the fact that Guix didn't play very nicely with it when I switched to that. Might give it another shot at some point though, it was very nice.
