Out of curiosity, where are you located where large companies are desperately trying to snap up every available Rust developer? Everywhere I've looked, the few Rust job postings I've seen have mainly been from cryptocurrency startups. All of the non-crypto Rust job postings I've seen are from companies trying to get experts in a particular niche. Must have 8 years of Linux kernel development experience plus 3 years of Rust experience, must have 5 years of network driver development experience plus 4 years of Rust experience, that sort of thing. Even including crypto startups, I see far more C++ jobs than Rust jobs.
