I just built an app with Rust and Svelte with ~25k LoC, the app was solid, and working on it was a joy. New team lead got hired, wasn't familiar with Rust, said we'd have trouble hiring Rust devs, and threw it all out. We're now building a Python / ReactJS app from scratch.

Speak to your academic friends for advice on how to get him fired. Do this ASAP for the sake of the company and do not drop the ball once he’s gone. You may have to step into his role

For what it’s worth, I’d be much more interested in working for your company using Rust and Svelte compared to python and react.

If you need someone with experience working with Rust and Svelte, I’m looking for work and value making quality decisions like you did. Now you can point to at least one dev who has the skills your team lead was concerned about finding.

Depending on the company you work for, this was probably a good call on their part.
