The talk had a diagram, most components on it were in Rust, and the plan is to use more and more moving forward. Even critical stuff.

Happy to hear that, since I am not exactly in joy of using ancient languages.

However, from plans to actual usage takes years; specially for completely new projects using new languages, compilers, libraries, etc. in safety-critical stuff, that takes months just to validate.

Stating anything else is just either lying (marketing) or ignorance. Please do not do a disservice to your language by creating vacuous hype.

That was also a significant part of the talk. Like any industry, some shops are conservative, and some aren’t. Pointing out that some places are more liberal than others isn’t lying.
