I took the fact that it appears to be a good wage from the article; I am not familiar with the local market so I couldn't double-check that myself. However, they do appear to be thriving and providing a good service despite the local companies supposedly paying more so something doesn't add up. If the companies truly paid more then the whole system would breakdown as all their couriers would jump ship to the delivery startups.


Things don't change overnight. Your legacy code doesn't get rewritten in rust overnight even if rust provides actual significant benefit for you.

I will give it a few more years. People who work those jobs are also majorly illiterate and may not be willing to change as implied in the article.
