Ask HN: Rust, anyone?
Hi Guys,
Anyone using Rust in production supporting millions of users?
Also, have you found any blocker issues with the language? Firefox is written in rust, millions of users indeed. But to answer your question, no, I wish I could deploy something written in rust to production. I don’t think there is a problem with the language, just a risk of not being able to find developers to support it. I think a lot of companies are on the sidelines about it still. Given that it’s a difficult language to learn there may be some fear in that area about its future.
