Is Denmark on the cutting edge of these sorts of things? Many countries have enterprise companies that are heavily invested in Java/C# and maybe 3 startups using a bit of Go/Elixir in some places, but that's about it, it's not specific to Rust.

Denmark is doing pretty well if you look at the history and people of PLT. Probably #1 country in per capita terms. Hejlsberg, Bak, Lerdorf, Naur, Stroustrup, Troels Henriksen etc. (Denmark has less than 2% of the population of USA)
Sure, I am not discounting Denmark has smart computer scientists, nor that the U.S. has better ones, (I'm European myself), just that from my experience the European tech scene is slower on picking up the latest tech, (which is different from educational institutions).
