Bah, very funny, but this shit is real. I can’t find any paid projects lately, going back to C/C++ or TS or even Go and Kotlin feels so disgusting now. I had gigs for last 6 years before 2025 or so but I suppose that data slide with Rust positions is… somewhat misleading.

AI can’t figure out most of Rust tasks indeed, I keep trying to start doing that vibecoding thing and failing, especially in blockchain and baremetal, so what, who needs those anyway? AI does great in areas like JS (as far as I can tell, not worse than regular devs), yet job boards are still full of python and JS positions.

Nothing can beat Rust at mission critical areas, but people would rather save pennies on development and then have their butts on fire than do things right.
