Having been directly involved in language support discussions at one of the very largest BIG-BUSINESS-CORPS, I am pretty confident that "hype and buzz" is not the key contributor to decision making.

Yes, not sure what commenter is pointing at. It's not the large corps that drive this kind of froth, it's smaller shops or startups with smaller teams where decisions get more easily dominated by individuals with opinions.

But, all that said. Rust Good. I work in Rust. I like Rust. I just don't believe in one size fits all, and I want to see companies apply balanced processes in technology or framework adoption.

While Java is the 'safe' pick now, remember that it was once a language being fad pushed by Sun and Smalltalk fans.
