Keynote: Spreading The Rust
summary
Rust claims to combine speed, safety and concurrency and shows steady growth since 1.0 (May 15, 2015) with no post‑1.0 drop in commits, about 39 Mozilla email contributors versus ~233 from elsewhere, and ~63 public adopters listed. Practical tooling mentioned includes cargo, homu and bindgen plus crates.io categories and bots; migration paths include FFI, corrode or rewriting. Concrete takeaways: production usage, active contributor growth, explicit tooling for publishing and CI, and case numbers that suggest real adoption.
