Can you give any examples of those difficult domains?

I'm an ok-ish web developer, and would love to fine some niches to specialize in like you mentioned.

* Deep systems programming (this one is losing its "hard" luster a bit with Rust, which I'm okay with)

* Compilers/DSLs/language runtimes/static analysis

* Distributed systems (on my list of things to learn, know basically nothing)

* More generically: high-performance code, doesn't have to be fintech-fast, but designing and maintaining code that makes excellent use of hardware resources
