Very interesting. It looks like RUST is the only tech that has strong demand. Good thing you can't learn it in 2 weeks (or 2 months for that matter)

True story :)

It seems Rust’s designers optimized for C/C++ devs over everyone else in order to give them a realistic chance at overthrowing C/C++ for systems programming.

Which surely doesn't mean that more companies started using git.

So... Lots of new applicants who don't know git?

Or..

Experienced applicants do not bother to list git as it is an assumed skill in dev work these days.
