You mean the Silicon Valley bubble of reality distortion. It's become so far disconnected from the information technology industry that it's rapidly becoming irrelevant. Outside, in the trenches, one won't find much Rust. Or Haskell.
- rapsey 6y agoEvery one of those companies have extremely robust business models (ok npm I have no idea about), high profits and are not going anywhere. You are mistaking them for loss leader unicorn startups. Rust is present in quite a lot of spaces. But companies outside sillicon valley or even the US do not advertise what they are doing as much. I am as far from SV as possible and a fulltime Rust dev.
- brabel 6y agoYou need to consider most of those companies are so big they probably use every one of the top 20 languages. You argue as if they were ONLY using Rust.
- Ar-Curunir 6y agoNo, but they are using it in critical parts of some key products, and in those parts, Rust is enabling them to write better code that requires less maintenance.
- alfiedotwtf 6y agoOn the opposite side of the world (Melbourne Australia), we’re seeing More and more people use Rust at work. I personally know about 8 local companies using it in production
- ummonk 6y agoThese companies have a combined market cap of over 7 trillion dollars. They are the trenches.
- Annatar 6y agoThat's nonsense: the trenches don't revolve around webshit and advertisers, but solving real problems of an average company, day to day problems.
