I specifically said industry because projects come and go.
Yes, there are dozens of companies doing some project in Rust. That's true for almost any programming language.
I am guessing that it's going to be another 5-10 years until I would need to seriously consider learning Rust, assuming it will be able to break into the mainstream.
Safety-wise it could make sense for my industry, which seems to be overwhelmed by C and C++ (see Toyota).
- vvanders 10y agoIndustry is great if you want to make safe, slow bets. PG's essay on lisp is a great example of why you may not want to follow industry. However, the point I was making is there's not a binary switch between C/C++/Rust. There's a great interop/FFI story that allows a targeted/gradual adoption.
