This is a ridiculous post.

My full time job is writing Rust for large-scale production systems. The language is great - and as an organization we're doubling down on our investment in Rust this year.

Somebody with an HN account said that they write Rust for a purpose and company he won’t disclose? Well, that shows me.

I mean, you could click through to the profile and find out that they work for Discord. Or you could ask politely.

As for purpose, there’s this blog post [0]:

> At this point, Discord is using Rust in many places across its software stack. We use it for the game SDK, video capturing and encoding for Go Live, Elixir NIFs, several backend services, and more.
