First off, this is bullshit.

# job advertisements for 'rust' in the title != Company's searching for Rust Developers

# job advertisements for rust != # of developers using rust for non crypto shit.

I'd just like to point out those facts for people devolving the conversation in to all crypto is rust and rust is crypto and they will burn together.

Also, how about the fact that fast, concurrent and safe is exactly what the blockchain needs? Everyone who's coded in solidity (Javascript) or vyper (Python) for the ETH ecosystem knows that the constraints of the blockchain show those languages flaws(Difference?).

I think 'bullshit' is a little of an overstatement. I agree it's not a definite answer at all but I think it's quite an approximation of how the job market in Rust looks like.

Moreover, it's not a rant against it, we addressed a common belief within the Rust community without stating a judgement whether it's good or bad thing.

Sorry man, I didn't have my morning coffee yet.

Well researched and great job lol.

I guess i was railing against the hate on rust in the comments section, which in actuality had nothing to do with your analysis.
