Time to get serious about Rust. The ecosystem is pushing developers in this direction, and there are solid reasons why—performance, memory safety, and the ability to write secure smart contracts make it essential for anyone building in Web3. Whether you're working on blockchain infrastructure or on-chain protocols, Rust skills are becoming non-negotiable.

Damn, I've been learning it for a long time. How can I survive in Web3 without learning Rust?

Rust, this wave really can't be avoided; the earlier you learn, the sooner you'll surpass others.

Not learning Rust is like giving up on yourself. Still want to make it in Web3?

NGL, Rust is really too competitive right now; if you don't learn, you can't keep up.

Rust should have been pushed out long ago. Those who previously wrote contracts in JS were really just gambling.

Rust should have been learned properly long ago, or else you'll really fall behind the pace.

After reading this article, it's true that Rust has now become the "rational expectation" in Web3—driven by both ecological pressure and technical advantages, highlighting typical market efficiency. However, calling it "non-negotiable" is still too absolute; it depends on the specific scenario's interaction cost-benefit ratio.

Regarding Rust, this has long been a matter that should be taken seriously. Not learning it will really cause you to fall behind.
