A brief history of Rust at Facebook
I'm curious what people think about Rust as a long-term investment from an employment/job perspective. Is it going to pay the bills for the next 10 years? I've been using PHP for the past 10 years, and I've never run out of work. I can't say the same about Elixir, which I very much like, but the job market proved to be scarce. Just wondering what Rust's future looks like. Thanks for your opinions<p>A note(since I notice my comment is getting downvoted): I've actually been spending time regularly for the past few weeks reading multiple tutorials, and getting familiar with Rust's concepts, and I really like the language and I can see that a lot of work has been put into developing it. But my concern is that there are other languages as well that have a solid background (OCaml, Haskell, to name a few), but that are still niche languages and suffer from the same scarce job market opportunities. Which proves that adoption does not always depend on how good a language is.
