Just a minor nitpick Rust still has miles to go before it catches with Python or Go or Java, so not yet in the same league. Most of the rust crates today depends on C, so it’s not going to replace C in next 2 decades, but will still depend on C.
Hopefully it will start replacing C going forward but in that space Rust is competing with Zig and Nim.
- krageon 5y ago> Zig and Nim Two languages almost nobody uses. It doesn't seem likely it's actually competing with them in that case.
- another_story 5y agoYou hardly hear about Zig or Nim. Are they actually being used in production?
- cb321 5y agoI do not know about Zig, but Nim is used in production at multiple companies - biotech, cryptocurrencies, finance, had an attempted commercial video game app, etc., etc. See here [1] for example.

- Zababa 5y agoRust isn't competing with Zig and Nim just like C isn't competing with Rust.
