The disparity between Rust jobs and C/C++/C#/Java/Golang jobs on Indeed is staggering. Even worse, most of the Rust jobs are blockchain-related and may not survive the coming blockchain downturn.
It may be the case that some people use Rust but without Rust jobs, there will be no pool of experienced developers to later draw on.

C++/C#/Java/Golang are likely better choices for this than either C or Rust. But a C-like language is necessary. Rust may be (very slowly) displacing C for systems programming. As you mention, it takes awhile for the pool of experienced developers to show up.
- School-Cotton 4y agoAFAICT most Rust jobs don’t require previous experience in the language. Anecdote: My company is a nearly 100% Rust shop and we have never made it a job requirement.
