    Well, academic exercises for grades, I’d call Rust students.

    Throw away programs people do for fun, I’d call Rust hobbyists.

    Pretty much anyone else, doing it for money (a living: roof over head, food on table), or open source contribution - I think they qualify.

        Don’t be so sure… I work for “megacorp” and about a year ago word came from on-high: “thou shalt not C (or C++, not that they know the difference) anymore. We are in mortal fear of embarassment that we allowed a mistake to be made that our all seeing oversight should have prevented by mandating the use of safe tools.”
