They talk about using Rust for over 5 years, and yet they delivered nothing, and switched to using Unreal for their commercial games and upcoming games (2 new titles already announced with Unreal)

Lot of buzz for nothing, just like with Firefox

Rust doesn't seem capable enough for that kind of projects

Other comments mentions pieces of the Android Runtime being written in Rust, and that seems all Rust is able to provide, by-proxy uses

Still waiting for something like Kubernetes for Rust to really push the industry forward, so far, no bueno

They haven't delivered nothing?!?

Running containers on AWS?

What have you delivered in your top XVYZ language?

That's not because your project is on github that you have delivered something, it's still at the WIP/experimental phase, and its been like that for years

I don't have a top language, and to be honest i am a bit sad about the state of programming languages these days, it's all over the place and nobody seems to hate bloatware, so we get slow stuff that compiles slow all over the place

And i don't believe in "one language to rule them all" moto

Not a reference, but it gives an idea about the people interested in Rust, they are mostly the web people, which says a lot about the lack of dynamics

1 or 2 projects out of 1000s in a big company doesn't sound interesting
