I write high performance backends in C++. Works approximately as described in article and all data are in RAM and in structures specialized for access patterns. Works like a charm and runs 24x7 without a trace of problem.

I've never had a single complaint from my customers. Well I do have bugs in logic during development but those are found and eliminated after testing. And every new backend I do I base on already battle tested C++ foundation code. Why FFS would I ever want to change it (rewrite in Rust). As a language Rust has way less features that I am accustomed to use and this safety of Rust does not provide me any business benefits. It is quite the opposite. I would just lose time, money and still have those same logical bugs to iron out.

How many other programmers have you trained up to that level of results? Can you get them to work on Windows, Chrome, etc. so users stop getting exposed to bugs which are common in C-like languages but not memory-safe languages?

I do not train programmers. I hire subcontractors when I need help. They're all same level as myself or better. Easy to find amongst East Europeans and does not cost much. Actually cheaper than some mediocre programmer from North America who can only program using single language / framework and has no clue about architecture and how various things work together in general.
