I'm in the web field generally. Those I've spoken to outside of that field find Rust a much faster way to develop safe and stable programs that would have otherwise been written in C. Feel free to take this with a grin of salt. I suspect the C devs who don't like Rust haven't taken the time to discuss it with me.
