> Rust to me is starting to feel like how Haskell was a decade ago, where it seemed like everybody was talking about it but serious adoption was always just on the horizon. I think you might just not be aware of how widely adopted Rust already is. Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Dropbox, Cloudflare to name just a few companies already have important projects in Rust. Curl is adding a Rust backend. The Linux Kernel hasn't committed yet, but groundwork has begun and it's looking like it's going to happen. Serious adoption has already happened. You're right that we won't see mass rewrites (although there have been some). That's just too big a project. But new projects are increasingly choosing Rust. It'll be a decade before Rust is the de facto standard if it happens. But personally I consider that quite likely.
