I can’t really speak to the market right now, but I transitioned to Rust from Python and Typescript in April of 2021. I started learning Rust in I think 2018. I had a couple of decently sized Rust open source projects under my belt, one of which I had managed to get some time to work on at $previous_job, since we integrated it into our react client via WASM. The company I joined is working on HTTP network proxy stuff in relation to fraud prevention. I didn’t have any professional experience in low level languages. I had some hobby/school experience with C and C++, but nothing recent. Learning rust was not too bad. Took me a couple of tries to get going, but once I got the basics down, expanding from there was pretty straightforward. At the time I was looking for a job, a solid majority of Rust jobs were in cryptocurrency or adjacent companies. I wasn’t interested in that, but I still found plenty of places to apply to. I got responses from almost all of them, and was able to pick between my top choices. My understanding is that now there are many more non-crypto jobs than there were, although I don’t know to what extent that has been affected by recent economic conditions.
