I've been thinking about introducing it at work. There was a good talk at RustConf about how to introduce Rust to your company.

I think that once upon a time as c++ was relatively new, it got a faster adoption in the corporate world. There are still very few job offerings that mention rust. I hope that will get better at some point.

  C++ was helped by the adoption of C compiler vendors. So we got two compilers in the box. Plus having almost copy-paste compatibility with C, meant we could enjoy higher productivity with a more safer language, and leave the other unsafer one on the drawer. Of course, nowadays we are paying the price of the copy-paste compatibility that helped the language gaining adoption in first place.

Jumped out at me too. The link 404s so there's no source for the claim. Plus, what does "use it" mean? They dabbled with it for a small, non-critical application, or they're using it as their primary language in a non-solo project?

  The link 404s because of mixing up markdown, you can see the URL is https://blog.rust-lang.org/2017/09/05/Rust-2017-Survey-Results.html https://blog.rust-lang.org/2017/09/05/Rust-2017-Survey-Resul...

I would look more carefully at this figure. As an example, over 20% of Nim devs use Nim at work as well[1], but of course the number of respondents is far smaller so it merits a closer look. 1 - https://nim-lang.org/blog/2017/10/01/community-survey-results-2017.html#nim-at-work-and-project-size https://nim-lang.org/blog/2017/10/01/community-survey-result...
