There hasn’t been a single Rust job posting in the entire region of Denmark where I live in 2019, so it’s probably fair to say that almost no one uses it.
The progress is still cool though.
- AsyncAwait 7y agoIs Denmark on the cutting edge of these sorts of things? Many countries have enterprise companies that are heavily invested in Java/C# and maybe 3 startups using a bit of Go/Elixir in some places, but that's about it, it's not specific to Rust.
- fulafel 7y agoDenmark is doing pretty well if you look at the history and people of PLT. Probably #1 country in per capita terms. Hejlsberg, Bak, Lerdorf, Naur, Stroustrup, Troels Henriksen etc. (Denmark has less than 2% of the population of USA)
- AsyncAwait 7y agoSure, I am not discounting Denmark has smart computer scientists, nor that the U.S. has better ones, (I'm European myself), just that from my experience the European tech scene is slower on picking up the latest tech, (which is different from educational institutions).
- steveklabnik 7y agoFacebook, Amazon, Google, Microsoft, Dropbox, Cloudflare... it’s still early days overall but there is certainly a significant amount of usage.
- Scarbutt 7y agoSelection bias.
- staticassertion 7y agoNotably, a lot of these companies are not just "playing around" with rust but it is already being used for critical projects. It's pretty difficult to use AWS without touching rust code, for example, and impossible in the case of Dropbox.
- jeltz 7y agoI am not sure that there are any Rust job postings in Sweden either, but I know several people using it on their jobs anyway, e.g. people recruited as C++ developers who work in Rust. I think it is hard to see any trends in smaller languages from job postings since a lot of recruitment is done internally and through contacts.
- steveklabnik 7y agoEmbark Studios is a game studio made up of ex-EA DICE folks, and they're using a ton of Rust! They're in Stockholm.
- nicklauri 7y agoThe main reason is many companies have a lot of C/C++ devs or other devs learned Rust, so they don't have to hire new Rust programmer. There are many places using Rust, you should check this out: https://www.rust-lang.org/production/users https://www.rust-lang.org/production/users
- Skunkleton 7y agoThe above is also certainly non-exhaustive. Google isn't on the list, and they are using rust in fuchia.
- danellis 7y ago#[non_exhaustive] https://www.rust-lang.org/production/users There you go.

- umanwizard 7y agoFacebook too, most famously in Libra.
- souprock 7y agoThat is the case here to some extent. Projects have been done in rust, but "rust programmer" isn't what we seek. Jumping into rust for our major projects doesn't make sense. Existing code is largely C, with some assembly and C++, so rust would just add another language to the requirements. To somebody who isn't already a rust expert, it isn't even clear that rust is good for the job. We like bitfields as L-values in C, without ugly macros or other wrappers. We like to be able to easily produce a small relocatable blob of binary executable code, such as a firmware image or boot loader. Speed and size matter to us. Sometimes we compile for weird targets such as ARMv4, Coldfire, 80286, and Xtensa. C certainly isn't perfect. If rust had fewer limitations, that could be convincing. My wishlist is probably zero-priority, but FWIW: I'd like pass-by-value arrays, naked functions, easy ability to get things in place as desired (position independent or fixed) without a PLT or GOT, portable bitfield layout, specified calling conventions, computed goto, and other things that high-level programmers despise.
- Someone1234 7y agoIt is young by language standards, but it has considerable success considering it isn't even 10 years old yet. Plus there isn't really anything else in the market that directly competes with it outside of what it tries to replace (C/C++). For example: https://msrc-blog.microsoft.com/2019/11/07/using-rust-in-windows/ https://msrc-blog.microsoft.com/2019/11/07/using-rust-in-win...
- codehalo 7y agoD? And others of course?
- Someone1234 7y agoD isn't really competing with anything, it never took off. It already has a smaller market share than Rust while being twice as old (almost 20 years). I'd call D a dead language. Can a dead language compete with a growing one?
- giancarlostoro 7y agoFacebook, Ebay, Mercedes Benz and a few others[0] don't seem to believe so. Better tell them to use a different language? I'm on a Discord for Dlang that's quite active honestly. The D community is plenty active. Their forums and IRC. Maybe not as active as other language communities, but it's not made by Mozilla or Google which gets a lot more attention. [0]: https://dlang.org/orgs-using-d.html https://dlang.org/orgs-using-d.html
- coldtea 7y ago>Facebook, Ebay, Mercedes Benz and a few others[0] don't seem to believe so. Better tell them to use a different language? The already "use a different language" for most of their stuff. Their D use is tokenish, the way you can find any bizarro, niche language used somewhere big. That doesn't mean the language is in any kind of widespread use, just that some teams in some big company or another adopted it - as outliers.
- spand 7y agoNot affiliated but there is at least one posting here https://concordium.com/careers/ https://concordium.com/careers/
- erk__ 7y agoAnd I know there are at least a few companies using rust to some extend in the capital region, there have been some talks about it at the monthly hacknight https://cph.rs https://cph.rs
- MassiveOwl 7y agoWeird, I write in Go, and based on the number of posts about Rust, i'd assumed that it was gaining traction
- Narishma 7y agoIt is.
- jahaja 7y agoRust is a pretty niched language trying to replace C++ and similar that are quite slow moving, so it's gonna take time. Most jobs are after all related to web/services where Rust's strong points aren't as relevant.
- vardump 7y agoThere hasn’t been a single C++ job posting in the entire region of where I live in 1989, so it’s probably fair to say that almost no one uses it. To me, Rust "feels" like one of those languages that will stealthily become very important at least in certain segments where security, performance, C ABI compatibility (dll/so/dylib) and zero runtime are required.
- saagarjha 7y ago> There hasn’t been a single C++ job posting in the entire region of where I live in 1989, so it’s probably fair to say that almost no one uses it. I don't see your point? > Rust "feels" like one of those languages that will stealthily become very important Rust is not very stealthy at all :)
- vardump 7y ago> I don't see your point? My point is that C++, Java, etc. got established long before the hiring patterns and keywords changed. The employers will just suddenly start to expect (language age + 1 year) experience. I think same will happen to Rust. > Rust is not very stealthy at all :) Yet it might appear like that from corporate point of view.
- kibwen 7y agoI don't suppose I have any listings for Rust jobs in Denmark specifically, but for remote Rust jobs you could try checking out our regular jobs thread on /r/rust. We post a new one with each Rust release, so the current one ( https://www.reddit.com/r/rust/comments/ecxd62/official_rrust_whos_hiring_thread_for_jobseekers/ https://www.reddit.com/r/rust/comments/ecxd62/official_rrust... ) will take time to accumulate postings, so for now I'd suggest perusing last cycle's thread ( https://www.reddit.com/r/rust/comments/dvxw6u/official_rrust_whos_hiring_thread_for_jobseekers/ https://www.reddit.com/r/rust/comments/dvxw6u/official_rrust... ).
- gameswithgo 7y agoThere was one in late 2018, I applied but it was too difficult from them to hire an American!
- bytematic 7y agoI don't know about that, Microsoft security analysis is in Rust, Google wrote an OS in rust, Mozilla firefox is mid-rewrite in rust, Linux is accepting rust work
- halffullbrain 7y agoAre you looking for Rust employment in Denmark?
