> The majority of the Rust programming jobs asks primarily for deep knowledge in specialized technologies: cryptocurrencies/blockchain, finance trading, machine learning/data analysis, obscure network protocols, cybersecurity, etc.

I agree, but that's a lot of fields and C and C++ jobs ask for the same: finance trading, videogames, machine learning, electronics, legacy protocols, etc. So I don't see how this is unique to Rust but doesn't apply to C++.

Yeah I see very few and far between job offers for Rust but I can say the same for C or C++, and new companies are using Rust not the former languages. Maybe it's easier in the USA. Usually C or C++ jobs ask for embedded knowledge, whereas Rust ones don't.

What country are you looking in? Everything I’ve seen (US) is like the linked post describes. There’s a fair amount of C or C++ jobs, while the Rust ones are all either crypto startups or extremely specialized (5 years professional rust experience plus 10 years professional Linux kernel development experience, or 4 years professional rust experience plus 8 years compiler development experience, stuff like that).
