My view is that Rust is pretty much where Go was about 3-4 years ago. About to see a lot of strong adoption and emerge as a pre-eminent language for writing backends. Strong library support and first class tooling is probably the only thing holding it back, but I'm hearing of more and more companies starting to use it. So it's definitely going to be a good bet to learn it. Best way to learn Rust is going to be finding a way to get it into your current job. Write a small CLI tool in Rust, or spin up a small service in Rust. Make sure it's not on the critical path so that even if you're the only one who knows it, nothing horribly bad will happen. Ideally, see if you can get a coworker to learn it with you and contribute so multiple people know it. This helps engineering managers/directors get more comfortable with adopting a new language and tech. This might have to happen in your spare time initially, but hopefully if you're successful at it, you can start to use Rust at work and get the credibility you're looking for. |
