I'm not sure. How much does Mozilla actually invest in Rust? Same with Google and Go. I would guess over the past 15 years that Sun/Oracle (Java) and Microsoft (C#/.NET) each annually spend more on language / platform development than everyone else put together does over 5 or 10 years.

Yes, I missed C#. C#/Java were largely developed in-house. So they would need huge teams and infrastructure. Rust/Go have huge community momentum so not all development is done by people paid by Google or Mozilla.

C# has a growing community momentum now, too. Very interesting to watch.

FWIW, C# also has compiled into native executables/libs for many years via `mkbundle`[1] and into JS via several projects like Bridge.NET [2].
