According to TIOBE, Rust is now more popular than Go. Both have corporate backing. Go is definitely used in production, and I wouldn&#x27;t be surprised if people are dipping their toes in the water with Rust in production as well.<p>Even if it remains a small niche, I think we&#x27;ve seen that Rust is popular <i>enough</i> that using it long-term is fairly safe. Maybe you&#x27;ll be one of only a few thousand shops who use it -- that&#x27;s enough. The benefits of writing secure code vastly outweigh to drawbacks of using something unpopular.
