Why can’t candidates learn rust? I’ve never hired people based on specific language skill set. Any skilled developer should be able to learn any language.

- DeathArrow 4y agoBeing able to learn X doesn't imply they must learn X. Maybe they don't like X and its way of doing things, which is a perfectly valid reason not to. They can be using Y and enjoy what they are doing.
- fnordpiglet 4y agoFor sure, but why should I make stack decisions because random SWE doesn’t want to learn something new? If it were asking folks to learn cobol I’d get it. But “learn modern language X with a bunch of experts” should attract the folks who are, IMO, exactly who I want to hire. They’re not afraid to explore and learn, they bring adjacent skills, and they’re eager to keep a simple stack.
