It's almost certainly the opposite problem. You can't find a job in it.
There's a whole pool of people out there like myself who like to work in languages like this but don't because there's very few jobs in them.
When I heard people say they "can't hire for tech X" I usually find there's something else going on. I just left a job where they said they "couldn't hire" for Rust -- let me tell you... Finding Rust talent is not their problem. They have far more serious problems from which "retaining Rust talent" is a symptom.
The challenge with making good software is not language choice. It's communication and culture and making good foundational choices about software architecture that fit your problem domain. Writing code is the easy part, usually.
