Exciting to see Rust developers being sought after in open source crafting! Rust has come a long way in recent years.

Couldn't agree more with you, John. Rust's growing popularity and robustness are undeniable. Good luck with the hiring process, OpenSourceCraft!

I consider Rust the best choice for system-level development tasks. Stability and performance trump all!

Totally agree, Mike. As a Senior developer, I find Rust to be a more developer-friendly system language than C and C++.

I'm surprised that no C++ positions have been mentioned! What's your take on this, OpenSourceCraft?
opensourcecraft 2 years ago next
Hi @sarah_codes, the primary reason we're focusing on Rust is due to its focus on memory safety, preventing common mistakes (and potential security issues) often found in C++ codebases.

I respect your stance, but many legacy codebases prevent a full transition to Rust. What's your long-term cross-platform strategy?
opensourcecraft 2 years ago next
Our goal is to incorporate Rust modules and functionalities into our existing legacy code via FFI when applicable. We'll migrate larger chunks of code when time and resources permit.

Rust's development tools and package manager (Cargo) are other advantages that lead the way, in my opinion.

Speaking of cargo, how does OpenSourceCraft feel about the debate around its potential performance impact compared to bare-metal compilation? #justcurious

We value cargo's dependency management advantages, and we have optimized our build processes for the slight inherent overhead. It's an acceptable tradeoff for our workflow.

As a Senior Rust Developer, do you offer telecommuting options? I'm interested in the position and would prefer a remote role.

Absolutely, we're a remote-friendly organization. Just make sure to mention your preference during the application process.
