I actually deleted my original comment, because I thought it didn't contribute too much in the discussion. I restored it, as you went through the trouble to write such a long and thoughtful reply.

I see where you're coming from, and I believe it's a fair concern. My thinking is more along the line that if I'm ever to write Rust for a paid gig, it has to be widely adapted and the ecosystem has to be mature (at the moment most jobs using Rust where I live are some sort of web3/crypto shops, and I'm not interested in those). I don't think that will happen any time soon without endorsement and sponsorship by the major corporations.

I have some experience working in the .NET ecosystem, and it's not all that bad. One of the few Microsoft products I don't hate.

Well, I think it does contribute to the discussion here :) . Even though the problems behind the original post might be different.

That's also somewhat my dilemma. I really like Rust as a language and I'd be happy to use it also for my day-job. Unfortunately, I don't see it adopted in the companies I work for.
