It's mostly used for low level library code. If you're developing higher level software it's mostly invisible to you for the same reasons that most of us don't deal with C/C++ anymore. (Rust fixes some problems of those languages, but is still much harder to use than C#/Java/Python/Javascript/etc. so unless you need the extra performance offered...)
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

The Blockchain world is picking it up, though I suspect mostly because it's the new kid on the block rather than a necessity. It's an alternative to C++ and Go that they were using previously and still are. But this is still an immature field in commercial terms.
Rust looks like it has a sweet spot in WebAssembly if you want super-fast performance but don't want to deal in C/C++.
E.g., as a learning exercise, I ported a Rust machine learning application from console to WebAssembly and scripted it from React/TypeScript.
In the MS web applications world I can imagine having some high-perf components, such as AI, running client-side in Rust WebAssembly and being controlled from Blazor/C#/JS.

Indeed! I've only written one application, which was a copy of a book example that was in C# and F#. At one point I got stuck for about 3 days on something that would have been dead easy in C#! I never solved it directly but tried a different approach and it eventually worked.
But learning it is a bit like when you've done procedural and OO is new, or when you've done OO and functional is new. Takes a while to adjust mentally.
I'd say, coming from the MS dev stack it helps if you've had at least some acquaintance with unmanaged code and some F#.

If your network is already compromised, then all bets are off.

Very true. But, in this case I figured there are so many ways to bork IIS remotely, that it was worth reporting.

Today, we are releasing the .NET February 2023 Updates. These updates contain security and non-security improvements. Your app may be vulnerable if you have not deployed a recent .NET update.

I just tested my Mandy Frenzy on Windows 11 on MacBook M2. It is running fine with some small text and icons but there is no hardware video encoder to choose from. Software H.264 encoding is still very snappy.

Using AI-assisted code changes our work from writing code to proofreading code. You get to learn from the computer's mistakes
|
|
|
|
|
Proofreading, or in current speak, Pull Request reviews
if over 100 lines, quick glance and accept
1 line change, 20 comments about how to do it differently
Even better, is have tests written by the AI for it's own tests.
"do the tests pass?"
ai: "yes 🙄"
code change accepted
2 months later - wait all this test does is Assert.true() at the end, regardless if works.
