Rust is compelling because it does not remove complexity. It catches dangerous mistakes before they become crashes, vulnerabilities, or production problems.
I keep seeing Indian software engineers rush to learn Rust for the salary bump, often switching jobs every 18 months.
The pattern: they invest in courses and certifications but neglect long-term financial planning. The Rust premium in India is real—but so is the risk of over-specialization when the hype cycle shifts.
A diversified skill set, like a diversified portfolio, compounds better over time.

Rust code seems to be quite buggy... C++ is a better choice still!
