I love Rust and I’ve watching the market for years too. Whenever I look, it seems to me that most Rust jobs are still in the crypto area, with a few more systems programming popping up recently if that’s your area.

Even though I’m already very productive in Rust for typical microservice backend scenarios, none of those jobs are close to my areas of expertise.

So I wonder if Rust jobs go unfulfilled not because of lack of rust developers but because the job market doesn’t match the reasons why some developers learn Rust in the first instance.
