To people with real Rusty jobs: How did you land it? What exactly do you do at your job? How proficient are you? What skills besides Rust? How long did it take?
I started working on whatlang project (https://github.com/greyblake/whatlang-rs). In 2017 I started going to Rust interviews. At that moment there were only 3 companies in Berlin that were offering Rust jobs (as far as I know): Parity, Mozilla, 1aim. I had interview with all of them and did not pass. I had classical Ruby/web background, and at that moment Rust was seen as alternative to C++, so many would expect me to know C++ well (but it was not really the case). I did continue working on my open source projects and writing blog posts from time to time. Year 2020 was very different. I was like rust turned from underdog to mainstream. I felt like Rust job openings tripled. Head hunters started writing me on LinkedIn, waw! I got contacted by big CryptoExchange, because they wanted to use my library for technical analysis. Sounds like a dream! Eventually, I find a job at Impero.com, thanks to this subreddit. They posted a job description and I send them my CV. Soon I got hired. It's a remote job, but at that moment it did not make a difference, because of the pandemic.

Whatlang strikes back
I am happy to announce a release of a new version (0.12.0) of whatlang.
Regarding Chinese / Japanese, if I got it correctly Japanese may include Katakana, Hiragana and Mandarin, while Chinese includes only Mandarin characters (again I can be wrong here).

Whatlang strikes back
I did not dare to compete with you in accuracy, so my main focus to improve just to compete with my own old version of whatlang. So I had to setup some benchmarks: https://github.com/whatlang/whatlang-accuracy-benchmark/blob/master/reports/2021-04-18-v0-12-0.md
