- nazka 4y agoLooks like an obvious troll but it's because you didn't take the time to look at job offers. It starts to really pick up. Even here in Paris we start to have several startups that pick it as their main language. And I am not talking about blockchain startups.
- orangetuba 4y agoAndroid has a lot of Rust now (the bluetooth stack was rewritten in Rust), npm is being rewritten in Rust, Servo is written in Rust, Dropbox' sync engine, Amazon AWS Firecracker, Discord is replacing Go with Rust, Google's new OS Fuchsia has a lot of Rustl. There are also tons of companies looking for hire Rust programmers, e.g. Apple, Intel, Microsoft... there is work to allow for development of drivers in Rust in the Linux kernel. Compare this to Haskell. Where is it being used? What is it replacing?
