> Whatever ethos you imagine Rust developers uniquely have
They tend to seem more of the type to go on strike, form a union, or leave a job because of political views.

Right, i'm saying I think at least more experienced rust developers would refuse to work in that environment.
They seem like they would risk more of their own well-being for ethical reasons, for better or worse.
I suppose if Volvo started depending on highly socially conscious domain experts and had a choice between changing working conditions and ditching rust though, they'd change the latter.
I'm happy to be proven wrong, but experienced C programmers seem to be more conservative "don't mix politics and programming" types.

Which has unions, labor protection, amazing working conditions etc. etc. The reason Volvo is doing what it's doing is due to Volvo's commitment to safety [1] and not because of some mythical exclusively social ethos of some programmers.
