This year marks five years of Rust. On the Rust blog they reflect back on all the major changes since 1.0.

Rust has changed a lot these past five years, so we wanted to reflect back on all of our contributors’ work since the stabilization of the language.

When Rust turned 1.0 you could count the number of companies that were using it in production on one hand. Today, it is being used by hundreds of tech companies with some of the largest tech companies such as Apple, Amazon, Dropbox, Facebook, Google, and Microsoft choosing to use Rust for its performance, reliability, and productivity in their projects.
