I've been toying with Rust on and off for a few years. It has an extremely steep learning curve. As a novice it's incredibly difficult to do things that are trivial in other languages.

Maybe if you're doing something embedded? Otherwise, the learning curve is so steep that you're better off just buying a faster computer to run C#/Java/NodeJS/Python/Whatever.

There are plenty of Rust devs looking for work outside of embedded.

Also, for me Rust's speed is one of the benefits. I would default to Rust for a lot of different things where speed doesn't matter at all.

We've had 0 issues hiring for Rust, despite the vast majority of the company having no prior experience with it (or some experience on the side). The learning curve isn't that bad, maybe you just haven't dedicated the right time or you've had trouble learning it in isolation.
