It will take a huge company with a huge install-base switching and testing it in production for many years before others start to feel comfortable... however this is also an enormous burden on said mega-corporation, for little-to-zero perceived benefits." Seems like this is a good opportunity for Mozilla to demonstrate the resilience of Rust and its ecosystem by adopting Rust as the language of choice, where possible, and deploying in-house a custom Linux system in which Rust-written components are plugged-in, as and when they are written and ready, with perhaps a full-fledged switch to Redox sometime in the future. If Rust and software written in it are pushed to their limits within Mozilla, then its not an unreasonable recommendation for it to be deployed on an even wider scale.
