    Give it time. Once Fortran was king.

    Yeah, in particular, you can write libraries in Rust, which can be used in virtually any other programming language, similar to how you can do in C and C++. And given that not a ton of young kids learn C/C++, there's a chance that the majority of important cross-language libraries (like OpenSSL, SQLite etc.) are written in Rust in a decade or two.

      It certainly is a pillar of my mental stability.

        In my experience, the Rust community is pretty welcoming. Like, it's actually a meme that trans women code in Rust for that reason.

        just because they are accepting of people based on gender identity doesn't mean toxicity cannot exist.

        terfs are a great example of that.

              I get the joke, but rust is actually pretty heavily used in the backend of services theae days. Cloudflare, Amazon, Dropbox, just to randomly name a few off the top my head. Have pretty heavily invested it into their back ends for more reliable service.

              Over the last one or two years I feel like Rust haters have gotten even louder than the Rust evangelists. For every person who declares "Rewrite it in Rust!" I see two or three people saying how they hate Rust or how pointless it is and so on.

                        I'm working with some Rust right now that is 100% a big mess..

                        It's consistently either the Rust or the Docker components that fail to build. In fairness, it's a VERY big and complex application.

                            Rust is fearlessly upholding the whole thing even without touching it. Incredible!

                                We had to use Nix to build Rust services and make containers of them. It works pretty well, except with Nix 2.29 and 2.30 where it is broken for some reason

                                  Be careful, a Rust Dev will accuse you of FUDposting! They might even try to collect evidence on you for being "a terrible person", then sending their followers after you, then individually contact all your publicly known friends about it!

                                      Yeah, this whole meme just looks like ‘I hate Rust and don't want it anywhere’

                                      Of course, there is importance in trying it everywhere, because it shows where the language and ecosystem lacks and can evolve; but beside that, I think adoption by big companies wouldn't happen if it wasn't any good as some want to believe

                                          Rust is actually awesome in many ways. No always the right solution, but nice to have in your toolbox.
