What I mean is that hiring for particular languages is a massive red flag to me in job listings.

I don't mean saying something like "our tech stack is in Rust." More like "3-5 years experience in Rust" under the job requirements.

It's not hard to learn a new language or train it in good engineers. If you're limiting your candidate pool based on particular language experience you are severely limiting the growth potential of the business. That's just been my experience.

And if your reasoning is something like, "Rust is hard and it's going to take N weeks to onboard a dev to contribute and we can't afford that" then it's an even bigger red flag about the engineering capacity of the business and state of development.

I think i addressed this in my edit. We are not doing this.
