The Chrome browser on Android, Linux and ChromeOS now does all its web font processing using a Rust-based library (Skrifa) instead of its old C++ library (FreeType).
This is part of a general trend. If you look at open jobs by programming language required, Rust is now #7 (up from #10 last time I looked). C++ and C# are declining drastically, Python, SQL, Java, and JavaScript/TypeScript are the top 5 and all growing rapidly. (Golang is #6, and also growing similarly to Rust.)

@tphinney Hi, what's the source of the ranking for job openings? I'd like to read it.

@krahos It is a graph in here:
https://zerotomastery.io/blog/best-programming-languages-to-learn/
(One can find a lot of different analyses, with at least moderately different results. I did not specifically look for one that rated Rust highly, this was just the one that I happened on. Nor is Rust super highly ranked here, for that matter.)
