​Do I have a future with Rust? Because I don't see it.

Just a few months ago I discovered Rust and it was love at first sight. Since I started learning it, I haven't been able to stop; I code in Rust every day as if it were my sustenance and I don't regret it. I recommend it to everyone I know, even to those who know nothing about programming, and every time I see a program crash I always say "that's for not using Rust" hahaha.

​My point is that I love it so much that I'd like to develop with it for the rest of my life. However, researching the market, I can't seem to find solid Rust jobs (let alone for interns or juniors). Maybe I'm not searching correctly or it's disguised under another title, but it's still quite vague to me.

​And I know you can always do open source as a hobby (although I'd do it my whole life unpaid if I didn't have to eat), but I'd like to know if there are actually jobs that require Rust as a baseline or where I can apply it. I know that in tech and software development jobs you rarely marry a single language or technology, and sometimes coding is the least of it, but even so, I'm not losing hope. Anyone have any idea?
