I highly doubt that it's easy to hire rust developers.

Maybe it's possible to hire c++ dev and make them work on a rust project?

Anyhow, is there a qt equivalent for rust? Can rust really compete with c++?

I've read rust code and I'm sorry but it seems like the steep learning curve is just not worth it, even if the benefits are big.

I still believe rust fills the same niche of ada, meaning tight requirements. Most c++ projects don't care that much. It's cheaper to test things or rewrite than betting on a new difficult language.

Maybe, but not after proclaiming to the internet "your job is obsolete".


Hiring C++ developers isn't easy either. Same for reading C++. So learning curve isn't an argument if you compare Rust to it.
