In terms of deploying rust directly to make money- Microsoft is probably the leader right now with actix used in azure iot

Dropbox are also using Rust in both their storage layer, and their desktop client.

You do realize that dropbox has very small profits, right? They made all of 50m in q2

Did you mean this actix? https://github.com/actix/actix
Is it mature? Can you shed more light on how is it used in production?

They're referring to https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17433142
I don't believe that it uses Actix, though. Actix was created by and is maintained by a Microsoft employee.

He has mentioned on an HN comment that they are using it internally, but isn't allowed to disclose how.

Ah, something that’s not in that repo? That’s awesome!
The article links to a longer article (https://hsivonen.fi/encoding_rs/) about encoding_rs. The longer article mentions a bug that got fixed in Firefox ESR after the code had been replaced with encoding_rs in non-ESR Firefox. (I wrote the bug, too, though.)

encoding_rs is an example of a crate developed for Firefox but also developed as a crates.io crate from the start. ripgrep is probably the best-known Rust-only app that uses encoding_rs. Since Visual Studio Code bundles ripgrep, I believe Microsoft shipped encoding_rs before Mozilla did!
