Going off topic, but the size of the programming language communities is a good source for shuting down the Kotlin folks on how the language is taking over the world.

17.5 million users versus about 6 million, basically the ones being driven by Google to Kotlin on Android.

Back to topic, I feel Rust is a great language for production on scenarios where having automatic memory management is forbidden, like in high integrity computing, GPGPU code, micro-controllers and such.

Everywhere else, a mix of automatic memory mangement, value types and eventually linear typing, are a much ergonomic approach.
