Maybe try to find ways to bring rust into the middle of your higher priorities?

• reificator 9y ago
  I'm in the same boat as the GP, in that I want to use Rust for a lot of things that I think it would be good at, but I don't get to choose my high priority tasks. And for me at least, my high priority tasks are not the tasks that benefit from Rust over other languages. I could introduce it for the sake of my resume, or I could use the right tool. The former seems unprofessional and unproductive outside of jumping ship and leaving your co-workers with extra baggage.

  High priorities being family, house repairs, house maintenance, and work. Nothing extraordinary, and I guess one could argue house upkeep is chosen. I also have some personal programming projects I've been working on where I decided to value getting them out quickly vs learning a new language, and those are, all together, half done. I've also been debating learning modern C++ to open potentially open some doors to a slightly different career than web programming (railway signalling, probably a pipedream at this point, but). So, all in all, I love what rust represents, but it doesn't bring value right now. Once those personal projects wrap up my goal is to have a round of rust and C++ ones to do.
