Oh wow so you write fancy crud apps on the web? I've already got 300 people who can do that in C# (.net core) already. Why do I need any Rust people?
What I need is people who can write very complex rule and constraint engines, mathematicians and statisticians to deliver some business value, not crud monkeys.
Given the style of writing and argumentation you have prevented here, no one with leadership experience in the software industry is going to actually believe you. Maybe they're lateral to you.
And, even then, arguing quantity of engineers over quality of engineers is a pretty bad argument, especially on this site. So, yeah.
