I'm proud of the work I do. But the language itself wasn't intended to be a humblebrag.
As far as "very few jobs" goes: sure, it's less than other languages. That comes with any new technology. But it varies heavily by discipline. The work my company does (program analysis and cryptographic research) already has a thriving Rust ecosystem, and demand for engineers is currently above demand for Rust jobs. My understanding is that things are similar in the network engineering space, at least at the larger companies.
