Perhaps, but you can take experienced devs with a background in other languages and expect them to write solid Rust code. You probably only need to hire 1 or 2 people who already know Rust.
- thorin 4y agoI don't know any people who program in Rust. I've been programming 25 years professionally. On my LinkedIn and through friends I probably know 50 people who do c++ programming in some capacity, including myself, to a poor level.
- gridspy 4y agoPerhaps you should be the first in your group? ;)
- nicoburns 4y agoAs someone who only knows C++ to a poor level, you’re exactly the sort of person I wouldn’t want to hire for a C++ job, but I would consider hiring for a Rust job. The bar is way higher for C++ because it’s so easy for even experienced developers to introduce mistakes.
