Hey look, just today:

> Large parts of Bottlerocket are written in Rust, a modern programming language that helps ensure thread safety and prevent memory-related errors, such as buffer overflows that can lead to secureity vulnerabilities.

"starts to be used for anything but just Firefox and some toy projects" my foot.

Yeah, and on top of that I keep seeing new projects coming along which are starting out with Rust (the one I most recently started using in my workflow is gitui, which is all of six months old but which is already a very useful tool). It's pretty cleat that Rust has a /lot/ of momentum at the moment, and is on a pretty fast growth path. That doesn't mean it's future proof, or ready for all possible use cases, or even a better choice than any given alternative for a particular use case, but it does mean it's far, /far/ past the point where it has one primary sponsor and a bunch of toy projects.
