Rust is pretty hot on Hacker News and r/programming, but even working in a systems-language-heavy field, I haven't seen too much mindshare (outside of some friends at Mozilla). It is kind of a shame, both Rust and D are doing really cool things, and I'd love to see more penetration!
- flukus 10y agoI know rust is a systems language and that that can and should remain it's focus. But it does seem high level enough to use as an applications language (which c and c++ are still used for as well). I'd did speak to a college recently that generally keeps up with new trends and he hadn't heard of rust though, so maybe the community is very small.
- steveklabnik 10y agoIt was rated "most loved" on last year's SO survey, and #3 the year before, so I thought it might be on here too. Oh well, they can't fit anything :) https://www.rust-lang.org/en-US/friends.html https://www.rust-lang.org/en-US/friends.html has very many non-Mozilla organizations :)
