"Huawei uses Rust to develop a real-time OS for IoT devices, and in the StratoVirt project, a high-performance virtualization platform. According to engineers at Huawei, the company organizes routine Rust training and evaluation activities to encourage its large number of C/C++ developers to write safer code."

I think they've been a big user of Rust in China for some time now, though I'm not aware of any big technical contributions to the language (or the core ecosystem) by them. In a similar vein, I find it a bit surprising that Facebook (or whatever they rebranded Libra to) is not part of the foundation. I think they are the only company that was interviewed when Rust's usage/usability experience in big companies was evaluated, that is not part of the foundation.
- metreo 6y agoI think I saw something about reports that FB has hired a number of individuals to work full-time on the Rust lang, so there are probably lots of companies contributing to Rust in ways that don't get them features on the website.
- hobofan 6y agoYes I'm aware, which is exactly why I find it surprising that they aren't involved in the foundation even though the other tech giants that have made investments in Rust of similar size are.
