I don’t want to actually get into a “which is more” argument because I think historically in total you are correct, but Mozilla, Facebook, Google, and Microsoft are some of the largest financial backers of Rust.
- lumost 2y agoYes :) however Mozilla is in a mixed state today, FB/Google/MSFT are interested in Rust to modernize legacy code bases - but I don't see the same kind of Rust artifacts coming out of these firms as they produced for JS (React), or Java (Guice). Perhaps they are still tinkering on this point, but something doesn't add up.
- steveklabnik 2y agoYeah it’s just early and different; Google gave the foundation a million dollars to work on rust <-> c++ interoperability last year, but that work is still ongoing. They do put out projects but they’re not as dominant in the ecosystem as React became in JS, for sure.
