Cryptobubble definitely had a part in subsidizing early expansion of Rust's crate ecosystem and first jobs, but I think at this point Rust has grown and matured so much that it's not dependent on any single thing.

I know Cloudflare is depending heavily on Rust in its services. AWS is invested too. It's used at Dropbox, ByteDance, Canonical. It has already made its way into being part of infrastructure in many companies, and there aren't many alternatives for it, so there's momentum to keep it going.

Even in this sample of explicitly Rust-specific jobs that "most" is already close to a half, and the sample isn't including jobs that use Rust alongside other languages (which in my experience is common, since Rust is good for libraries/plug-ins/components/low-level utilities).
