Graydon talks about how companies aren't willing to fund risky work, and that Rust would have never been a thing if he hadn't invested massive amounts of personal time into it.
My limited experience at large companies suggests the engineer has to basically have a working prototype developed off the clock before anyone listens. And this matches what I know about corporate R&D mostly following public investment in government & academic speculative work.
