Rust and WebAssembly are great and fantastic, but will you be able to make a living off of it? I'm all for innovation, but Javascript and other conventional languages is what's paying my bills at the end of the day.
This is a fair point. I do believe quite strongly that Rust will start to replace C in many organisations, big and small. But your right, I think in a few years in the big cities we will begin to see Rust positions. Today I think I can start to use it already as a CLI tool for some build processes maybe. The other point is, if I can make something noticeably faster by using WA as a prototype, then my ”bosses” are not going to stop me using Rust once they see the benefit.
