Isn't it being used in large enterprises now? Or do you mean specific projects in large enterprises. IIRC rust is being used in the bluetooth stack for Android, and to power services like https://discord.com/blog/why-discord-is-switching-from-go-to..., plus various parts in Meta and at Microsoft. It's likely gonna be in chromium https://security.googleblog.com/2023/01/supporting-use-of-ru... and perhaps even in the Linux kernel someday.

It's also part of fuchsia which is shipping in all those nest devices. I wonder when folks will decide it's really "made it".

"much" being the operative word. I know it's being used in large orgs, but it's not super widespread. Definitely not as widespread as C++.

of course it's not as widespread as C++. I definitely wouldn't think that.
