I’ve been working as a C++ developer at a fantastic company for about a year now. The workplace is great, and my colleagues are amazing. However, I find working in the C++ ecosystem frustrating at times. For example, I often deal with issues like debugging tricky memory bugs or dealing with tools like CMake, which can feel unproductive and demotivating.
Recently, another company approached me with a Rust developer position. While I don’t have extensive experience with Rust, I do have some background with it, and the role aligns well with my interests as a robotics engineer. They’re also offering a 30% pay raise.
My concern is that Rust is still a relatively niche language, even though it has a lot of potential. Should I consider making the switch? What are your thoughts on this situation?
