There are a lot of high profile Rust adoption stories where the developers involved are C and C++ experts. E.g. Rust in the Linux kernel, Rust in the Windows kernel, Rust in Firefox, Rust in Android.

I think the Rust in Firefox is probably the strongest in that list. Rust in Linux is just advocates trying to get adoption (not regular kernel contributors electing to use it).

That's not really accurate. Ojeda is a long time kernel contributor and so are many of the folks writing drivers. Maintainers of various subsystems are also particularly interested.

Not everyone is of course, but hardly "just (Rust) advocates" like you suggest.
