I am not a rust fan, but `ever` is a long time, and if operating systems are re-written in rust (which is preferable by far than writing them in C), that is going to be a lot of very widely used code.

The collective has decided that MAAMA is a worse acronym, and I agree.
The reason that Netflix has been booted is because (a) it's not really a tech company and (b) Microsoft's stock has started to grow a lot since Nadella became CEO.
Every one of the MAGMA tech companies (Microsoft, Apple, Google, Meta, Amazon) is adopting Rust in significant ways. That is extraordinary; and those companies are only the tip of the iceberg, and what is publicly known lags reality by 6-12 months at least.
Rust won't ever be as widely used as Java or COBOL, but clearly it is already having a huge impact on how infrastructure is built.
