That's the flip side of the same coin as your parent comment, I guess - because Rust is more accessible than C or C++, a lot of people have started using it for stuff that's not hardcore systems software, and as a result it's not as good a filter for that stuff as C and C++ are.

On the other hand, we use Rust on the backend of our web based saas product, and it serves as a great filter for quality developers for us.
