It is a clear mandate on those companies that whatever used to be C or C++, should be written in Rust for green field development.

Whatever could be done in programming languages with automatic memory management was already being done.

Anyone deploying serverless code into Amazon instances is running of top of Firecracker, my phone has Rust code running on it, and whatever Windows 11 draws something into the screen, it goes through Rust rewrite of the GDI regions logic, all the Azure networking traffic going through Azure Boost cards does so via Rust firmware.

Adobe is the sponsor for the Hylo programming language, and key figures in the C++ community, are doing Rust talks nowadays.

Any hobby language author would like to have 1% of the said modest Rust's success, I really don't get the continuous downplay of such achievement.
