embarcadero would make an absolute killing if they made something like c++ builder but for rust. They have the resources to make their own cross platform gui library and make it integrated into their IDE.

THIS!! A high-quality cross-platform GUI toolkit that can be built using Delphi's RAD designer would be a huge hit in the market, IMHO. There is literally nothing that does this now.

Rust is a small blip in the radar compared to C/C++ even Pascal, and its adoption has stagnated. The hype surrounding it just gives the impression of a wide userbase. Yeah it’s used in the industry but mostly for niche security related things. But even there, if you really need safety-critical security, use spark or certified (misra, autosar, sei cert) C/C++.

c++ sure, but Pascal? rust is being actively integrated into the linux kernel and windows libraries. Thats not even including surrealdb or any of the other crypto projects out there.
