I’ve had roles in Rust-focused companies, most of my interviews have at least mentioned Rust, and work at a company using C but with some internal support for R

  In fact it is not. It stands some chance of becoming that in ten years, but odds are still strongly against it. It would need to pick up a thousand users for every existing user, completely swamping all existing users. But probably a substantial fraction of all programmers willing to use it as it is already do. There seems to be little appetite to change it in any way that would appeal to the larger number.

    What I meant was that I, as a non-Rust-fanboy (it's okay but I don't care that much about the language I use), am constantly coming across Rust in almost every job and interview I do across the crypto/defense/security domains. I'm not out there looking for Rust but it's been there in the last 3 or 4 contracts I've had and all but one interview I had when last looking for a job. Admittedly these are all startups, but still. It's far more common, from my experience, than these surveys seem to suggest.

      That mainly means that startups are deeply atypical.
