Add Docker and Google to that.

I work with Rust as well but be realistic. There is very few jobs for this language compared to others.
I don't think your comment adds anything other than a "I work with Rust :-)" humblebrag

I'm proud of the work I do. But the language itself wasn't intended to be a humblebrag.
As far as "very few jobs" goes: sure, it's less than other languages. That comes with any new technology. But it varies heavily by discipline. The work my company does (program analysis and cryptographic research) already has a thriving Rust ecosystem, and demand for engineers is currently above demand for Rust jobs. My understanding is that things are similar in the network engineering space, at least at the larger companies.

there are virtually no jobs for it. You have a bigger chance of finding a job as a COBOL developer.

I don't know what to tell you: we hired quite a few people this year to do Rust (both programming in it and auditing Rust codebases). And we're a small company.
I assume that it will continue to be easy to find a job as a COBOL programmer for a very, very long time. But what kind of metric is that?
On the more famous side: Amazon, Cloudflare, and Microsoft all have teams writing in Rust. I'm sure there are plenty of HNers from each who can talk about that work, sensitivity permitting.
