I think rust will have made it offically as a language when projects get created for it where the fact that its in rust isn't the #1 selling point. It'll happen eventually I hope. Rust itself is indeed a fantastic language.

Vaultwarden is a great example. Though admittedly, it was originally named Bitwarden_RS, it's now a fully-featured Bitwarden clone that's hailed as vastly easier to run and administrate than the full heavy official Bitwarden server.

  When I first wanted to self host Bitwarden, I saw the gigantic setup from the official site and thought "oh shit", then gave up for some time. A friend mentioned bitwarden_rs and after 10 min I was done. I think that at this point Bitwarden should advertise it as the official way to self host (after reviewing the code) taken the adoption and stability. I use it for a year or so and it never failed, backup is ready etc.

Hasn't this already already happened though? There's literally nothing else that can compete with ripgrep. A project using Rust isn't a good enough selling point to me if the tool doesn't do what I want, but more often than not I find Rust projects have a level of quality far exceeding C & C++ projects.

I checked out Wikipedia to see that exa (an alternative to ls which I use regularly) is written in Rust! :D

It feels like nearly every day this week has had a Rust project on the front page of HN without a mention of Rust in the title.

  Here to verify, there's a fair bit of software where the state of the art is in Rust. How it happened so quick is a little surprising, but here we are.
