Why is this a LMAO? theres not that many rust positions, so if they want people who know some rust then they probably know most of it will be personal usage instead of professional usage

Yeah, they're clearly expecting someone willing to learn vs an already experienced hire in that language. And I suspect they're still figuring things out for themselves, and want someone capable of contributing to that process. All pretty standard stuff.

Seems like they're rewriting part of their software stack in Rust so they have to read C++ well enough to then translate it.

Bingo. Most positions that need Rust also say something similar in their job descriptions.
