Not at work. The sum of those numbers is 500%, and the average developer does not use five of those languages at work (If anyone does).

- howinteresting 6y agoWell, do you have evidence to support your claim that penetration is <0.1%? My impression is that it's simply not true now that most (if not all) of the FAANGs have many developers using it.
- pron 6y agoIt's from a November 2019 report by Indeed of 0.1% of job postings mentioning Rust (https://www.hiringlab.org/2019/11/19/todays-top-tech-skills/ https://www.hiringlab.org/2019/11/19/todays-top-tech-skills/), with growth of 44% compared to 2018 (https://www.hiringlab.org/2019/11/26/fastest-rising-tech-skills/ https://www.hiringlab.org/2019/11/26/fastest-rising-tech-ski...). But you can even have a rough estimate according to your own measure. There are roughly between 50K and 100K developers working at FAANG (maybe replace Netflix with Microsoft). How many of them would you guess are using Rust?
