Where are C++ programmers paid better than Rust programmers? I thought Rust salaries are being driven high by all the crypto/fintech companies + scarcity

productivity counts not hours. If you can get the same work done faster then you cost to the company is lower even - possible even if your salery is higher.

though it isn't clear how much of rust's increased productivity is caused by being a new language where the architecture mistakes of the past decades are not slowing you down. We will need several more decades to answer that.
