Rust has seen lots of quiet uptake. What you don't see is hiring for people for Rust because most organizations don't experience a whole-sale shift to Rust, and you just retrain people on the inside.
I'd wager there are lots of people like me - writing small tools at work in Rust, but the employer would never hire for Rust.
I think we'll see broader market adoption in the next 2-5yrs though, in terms of people actually hiring Rust developers. There's still a little maturing to do in a couple areas to clean up some papercuts.
Disclaimer: I really like Rust am a little biased.

- swsieber 7y agoSo, for the uptake, you can see a large list of companies here: https://www.rust-lang.org/production/users https://www.rust-lang.org/production/users The not hiring but using bit is based on not seeing Rust jobs despite companies actively using Rust, and many anecdotes of "I wasn't hired for rust, but we use it" over in reddit on r/rust when people ask how to get a rust job.
