To increase rust adoption you need to cultivate FOMO - create an aura of "rust is a secret weapon", which it is in certain cases (safety critical performant code).

Rust isn't really meant for prototypes. So don't expect Rust adoption to be in the range of Python or JS/TS. Expect it to max out in C++/Java adoption.

It needs a champion web framework like django, rails, or phoenix. Don't give adopters an overabundance of choice, or they'll recoil.

It already has a better packager than most languages.

If Rust shows that its 10x better than Java and C++ in terms of productivity - it will have no problem getting adoption. Just need more promotion on how much easier it is to work with than C++
