It has definitely found a niche in the crypto space, specifically with the node clients and the underlying new cryptography libraries they use. For instance, the more efficient Ethereum devs can make their node clients, the cheaper it is to run and the more people around the world can run it, which increases decentralization. Rust makes this possible without compromising on stability and maintainability.

The problem is that I still see all crypto as "scam", thus choosing Rust makes a non-viable choice for career progression. But I don't care about career progression anymore, so :shrug.png:

There’s a guy who I work with who went to work for a crypto place that then exploded (as they all tend to do). He had quite a difficult time finding a new position, and was asked multiple times about working for a scammy company. So perhaps don’t underestimate the negative effect it can have career wise…
