Embedded Rust in Production?

The author complains there are few developers available to maintain Rust code.

I see very few job postings, and almost all of them are either cryptocurrencies (I don't want to waste my life on this), or "3 years professional Rust development in production" (disqualifies self-learners).

Given that nowadays most applications are not replied, it makes little sense to spend time even browsing the postings.

There really is a strange dichotomy. Plenty of Rust developers have trouble finding jobs and apparently companies have trouble finding Rust developers.

For being a relatively new language, there are almost no "entry level" positions.

Just take a look at https://rustjobs.dev/. Most of them are well paid remote jobs, but they are asking for +3 years of "professional experience" with rust, "with a proven track record of building and deploying production-quality code", and more. Hell, iirc, i saw one asking for proof of contributions to the rust repo (eg, being a core maintainer).

edit: to be fair, i saw one position a while ago asking to be willing to learn rust
