Rust adoption at Google:

over 1,000 Google developers ... have authored and committed Rust code as some part of their work in 2022

The learning curve might not be as steep as often said:

More than 2/3 of respondents are confident in contributing to a Rust codebase within two months or less when learning Rust. Further, a third of respondents become as productive using Rust as other languages in two months or less

I know some rust. I definitely agree that the learning curve from other languages isn't six months high.

I’m starting to try and learn it right now, and it really doesn’t seem that bad. To be fair I’m mostly going through books and documentation to make sure I understand the differences before I jump in. Learning some of the specific features of the language doesn’t seem too bad either
