Postgres uses Meson+Ninja in their builds. That seems like a pretty big endorsement.

I don't know about OpenAI using a lot of Python, but Astral builds all their tools in Rust and just exposes Python bindings. Codex is all Rust. It feels like a reasonable acquisition from that perspective. They're banking on at le
