I think there's a distinction between people making side projects/posting online and professional usage of rust.
There's a lot more Python/JS/etc developers than C++ developers, and Rust meaningfully offers something those languages don't, so I suspect you see a rush of folks from that world going to learn Rust and posting about it online.
However, I generally don't see or hear about Rust being used professionally except in a context where C or C++ would have been seriously considered as well.
- dcow 4y agoRust is used in production by many high profile companies. You almost certainly are running Rust code, or interfacing with something that does, in your daily life.
- vgatherps 4y agoYes, I agree - I didn't mean that the "C++ is a contender" use cases are few, in fact the opposite. Just that I don't see a ton of of professional "We wrote our Postgres CRUD app in Rust for reasons". I'm sure a few have, but that's a harder choice to defend that using Rust instead of C++.
