Go reliability and durability at Dropbox

Last I checked, server-side Rust usage at Dropbox is reserved for the very bottom of the stack, for the bits that are performance-sensitive enough that the alternative would have demanded they be written in C++. Apparently there's a significant amount of Rust in Dropbox's Windows client as well, though I don't know the story there...

We're making a pretty big bet on Rust in the client (if you'd call it a bet, I don't see a scenario where we walk this back). The majority of new Sync code in the client (read: not UI) is being written in Rust and it's been a blast so far, not to mention much easier to reason about correctness which is really what we care about.

(something something we're hiring)

So does this means that the talks at CppCon are now invalidated and future uses of Djini will see Rust support?
