I work for a company with a massive rust codebase. Rust is very much about building production code.
What is 'good production code' ?
* Few errors
* Readable, well documented
* Testable, has tests, has testing tools like quickcheck, fuzzing, etc
* Meets performance constraints
Rust hits those better than any language I've used. The downside is, oh gosh, you'll have to actually learn a programming language that isn't just another variation of the ones you learned in school.
