Hrmn. Hiring rust experts may be hard, but the opportunity to learn rust on the job could be appealing to a lot of devs who want to grow?

Domain experts are focused on their domain. Becoming a beginner again is a recipe for radically reduced productivity. The people eager to learn a new language on the job are generally those who have not invested much in anything.

It’s not like rust is some radically different thing. Getting productive with it should take a good developer what, a couple of months?
