I did an internet search for Rust jobs and it was near-zero. Would be nice but reality calls.
- orf 7y agoWeird, I did a search and I found 13,000 jobs mentioning Rust on Linkedin.
- alharith 7y agoIt's kind of how like when Go first bust out on the scene and every org that was "doing DevOps" claimed they had "Go in the building", the reality is you wrote CLI scripts and did 90% of your job in Java or Python. They may mention Rust, but doubt it's what you'll be solving the majority of business problems in.
- estebank 7y agoAt Commure we use Rust everywhere, from our backends to our cli tools. Any shell script longer than a few lines becomes a binary. The only place we don't use Rust is in the frontend, where we use JavaScript and TypeScript.
- takeda 7y agoI didn't a search in Indeed and found jobs like: - machinist - maintenance worker - crater/packer - painter I wish there was a better name, still better than go, although they successfully adopted golang so now it is easier.
- takeda 7y agoCan't edit now, but of course "didn't" supposed to be "did".
- lllr_finger 7y agoI just saw my first local, non-blockchain Rust opportunity, but sadly had to pass on it due to other obligations. Everyone I know writing Rust these days is introducing it to their orgs - not waiting for an open position.
- jswizzy 7y agoThat's how I got Koltin going at my job before it was official with Google.
- ffdjjjffjj 7y agoNot everything has to be about employability. You can still write code to scratch a personal itch, or for the pleasure of the craft. But actually a lot of the big tech companies are using rust, they’re simply not advertising jobs.
- qaq 7y agoit's like 8 pages just for SV on indeed
- dpc_pw 7y agoYou don't look for Rust jobs. You rewrite your current job in Rust. :D
- GolDDranks 7y agoRust is over the "100% hobbyist" phase, but it isn't still in the phase where you hire "Rust developers" verbatim. There's an important phase in between: Rust is being introduced in organizations as we speak, and some people that were originally hired for some other skills, develop in Rust they picked up because they were enthusiastic about it. I am in that position at the moment. We are a multi-language shop, and there's some components that make sense to write in Rust.
- swsieber 7y agoI'm in the same spot. Given the large number of companies who are willing to state that they use Rust (https://www.rust-lang.org/production/users https://www.rust-lang.org/production/users) without being able to find openings that are explicitly for Rust, I'd say you're right.
