Employers don't need zealots or evangelists, they need realists, and people ready to work.

Not prattle on endlessly about the latest fad.

Rust has some pluses. Yet the evangelism, with the "it fixes everything" lunacy circulating, taints rust, makes legitimate and sane advocates look like nutjobs.

I don't have the time to sort the wheat from the chaff, so when I see a big deal made about rust on a resume, odds are it's a zealot, and into the bin with 'em.
