Not very, I suspect, until we come with a solution that solves *their* problems. The popularity of Rust is something of an enigma to me. This is not the place to give a Rust rant, but I do think that packaging needs to happen at the distribution level, rather than at the language level. Most modern languages go down that route - it is not great. Pj.
