Furthermore, I attend Rust meetups all over the country and invariably meet people using Rust for various tasks at their job, even if their company doesn't choose to deliberately advertise itself as a Rust shop.
We also have a large internal list of contacts at companies using Rust (publicly or otherwise) that we use to schedule periodic conference calls to discuss the needs of production users in order to prioritize language development (e.g. Dropbox and Mozilla really, really want faster compile times, which is why that's been a determined focus for this cycle).
Overall we're quite encouraged by how many folks are willing to use Rust in a production capacity considering how young and unproven the language still is. :)
Shocking that you would find people using rust at rust meetups. I'm sure they're a good representation of the programming sector as a whole.
The standard here is not to LMGTFY every few words.
