Facebook, Amazon, Google, Microsoft, Dropbox, Cloudflare... it’s still early days overall but there is certainly a significant amount of usage.

Notably, a lot of these companies are not just "playing around" with rust but it is already being used for critical projects.

It's pretty difficult to use AWS without touching rust code, for example, and impossible in the case of Dropbox.

Selection bias.

Nobody claimed that Rust users are evenly distributed throughout the world. That doesn't mean that nobody is using it.

How so?
