I landed a job doing embedded Rust, and the company had been looking for someone to fill the role for 6 months with only one qualified applicant who bailed, and external contractors with C/C++ experience only. They surely were bad at looking, since neither they nor the recruiter consulted the local Rust meetup group. But there are starved companies looking for specialists out there even in an employers market.
