The current trend is people rewriting Unix command line utilities in Rust, as a hobby. Nobody is rewriting Adobe PhotoShop or Oracle in Rust.
Can you name some projects which you class as "out of control"?
[I don't use Rust, so this isn't "you should RiiR". Adobe isn't rewriting photoshop in Rust because of some Twitter/tech news hype. And if Adobe is rewriting Photoshop in Rust over the coming decades because of government guidance, is that really "out of control"?]

- School-Cotton 2y agoRust is obviously not a silver bullet that solves all problems and no experienced rust user is claiming it is.
