This is also true where I am in Australia. There are very few Rust jobs.
However, from the first two comments on the article :
"We use Rust at AWS (in my org) for every new project that would have previously been written in c++.

Microsoft is the same. All new services running on VM-hosting nodes (i.e. domains where C# is explicitly not allowed) have to use Rust now. It's a top-down mandate.
There's also AI investment in converting C/C++ services to Rust, but I have a negative opinion on that investment"
So there is clearly a substantial amount of Rust being written in some places.
- devnullbrain 2y agoThat's a kind of tier of employer that wouldn't even invite me to interview but you are right and I expect it will trickle down to my level in the long-run.
- menaerus 2y agoDon't beat yourself about it. My advice would be to get not too crazy about programming languages. Become proficient at one. Pick either C++ or Rust. Don't use HN as a source for making your next moves in career - it is very skewed. Rather use that energy to invest into building domain-specific knowledge - that will get you a lot further than being a programming language afficionado and a language lawyer. IMHO.
