I feel like I'm on another planet here. Basically every new piece of software in my space (DB/query engines/streaming engines) is being written in Rust these days. There are like three production projects, total, written in Zig.


Same! I feel like I'm on crazy pills. Multiple folks in this thread are saying stuff like, "yeah, Rust, cool, but it has zero use". How are Linux, Microsoft, AWS, Cloudflare, Firefox, Python's `cryptography`, etc., not real use?

Rust is targeted at strategically important systems (proxies, databases, OSs, VMs, hypervisors, high-throughput servers, cryptography, browsers) and by any measure is making significant inroads into those kinds of systems in real industrial applications, and I'm to believe that Rust adoption is languishing? Am I going insane?
