Learning something to broaden my view is one of my favourite things to do. Except "something" is not a programming language.
If there's a worthwhile project that I want to contribute to, I will learn Rust.
At least in automotive the industry is not necessarily pushing towards specific tools, they have constraints that limit choices to particular languages.
- __derek__ 10y agoNot that long ago, the idea of trying to get into the automotive industry with a web background would have been laughable. Now, I frequently get inquiries from auto companies interested in my JavaScript experience, despite the fact that I left the Detroit area a few years ago. Even the auto industry changes when faced with a better way to do things, and its constraints actually seem to align well with Rust's core design principles. All it takes is a first mover.
