I understand that people who use and like Rust would find my comment off-putting but there is no need to be snide.
There are precisely 0 job openings looking for Rust developers in my city, and I live in a city with millions of people.
To me, that's the real world where real people solve real world problems.
To me, when 0 people are hiring for Rust in a city in North America where there are maybe 10 other cities bigger than the one I live in, real problems aren't being solved using this language.
Sorry, that's empirical evidence, not opinion.
I understand that in a few places, people are using Rust and some are even getting paid to do it. I call that scratching the novelty itch - I'm sorry if my use of language offends your sensibilities, we'll have to learn to live with that somehow :)

I live in a really small city and found 3 offers for Rust and 7 for Go (some of them are 'bonus points')...in Europe..and none of them are GAFA related. But yes, it's a new language, java c/c++ is not.
