Mozilla and Samsung are building the Servo rendering engine, based on Rust.

Everybody and their cat knows that. It's also not a functional web browser yet, and doesn't have a measureable market share compared to Firefox and Chrome, which are C++. Let's compare CVEs when it's at least in the top three. But if it survives one day at cansecwest I would be thoroughly impressed.
Well it's an effort, and several popular libraries are releasing bindings for their products using Rust.

And for two large companies to be working on something as large as Servo, even before the language went 1.0, there must be something good about it.
