I've spoken to a few former colleagues and a lot of them took roles because it was in writing Rust. It's not that the role required writing Rust and they happened to know it, it's that they selected jobs based on whether they would be writing Rust or not. One of the problems I currently have is that I am not comfortable writing other languages anymore that aren't as strict. I was able to shift part of the cognitive load to the compiler. There are productivity benefits associated with that if you're writing code at that level. That said, it's hard to find the jobs themselves as quite often you see requirements of Python/Java/Rust/Go. Doesn't tell you what stack they use.
