What I find an even more interesting is that every story about rust have posts whining about hn posts about rust. this is such a boring, ever-present “question” that i don’t actually believe you asked it honestly.
Seems to me that Rust's current point on the popularity curve suggests that the vast majority of programmers probably don't know much at all about the lang, or even that it exists. Busy people can note that there's plenty of HN threads about a thing without investigating further. Until they finally do.
Better to be charitable, I think. Doing so costs us nothing.
