What worked for me in Estonia was to find a C++ job (robotics) then gradually push for Rust as I gained seniority and autonomy. Now maybe 70% of the code I write is Rust, both robot side and backend :)

Curious -- how many people are writing Rust in your company?

Probably 10 at most.

That sounds like tedious work, while suffering and having to write C++.

Here's a non-crypto example: I work on a mobile analytics library that has a core written in Rust and the platform-specific code written in Java and Objective-C.

We were actually hiring for a couple of roles, although we just sent out two offers, so we won't be if they get accepted.

Lots of people want to work in rust. That matters if you're starting a project in rust because it means you'll be able to find people to hire. It just takes a long time for that kind of effect you show up if you're on the get-hired side of the equation.
