This is trolling, surely. If so, mission accomplished.
Every one of the MAGMA tech companies (Microsoft, Apple, Google, Meta, Amazon) is adopting Rust in significant ways. That is extraordinary; and those companies are only the tip of the iceberg, and what is publicly known lags reality by 6-12 months at least.
Rust won't ever be as widely used as Java or COBOL, but clearly it is already having a huge impact on how infrastructure is built.

I'm making the exact same claims, but am specifying this this is the case... >but clearly it is already having a huge impact on how infrastructure is built. There is a dream for that to be the case. The adoption is very low.

- notriskfree 5y agoI am not a rust fan, but `ever` is a long time, and if operating systems are re-written in rust (which is preferable by far than writing them in C), that is going to be a lot of very widely used code.

- telotortium 5y agoThe collective has decided that MAAMA is a worse acronym, and I agree. The reason that Netflix has been booted is because (a) it's not really a tech company and (b) Microsoft's stock has started to grow a lot since Nadella became CEO.
