Your Rust stats are irrelevant. You're literally the creator of Rust.
Outside of you, the majority of "users" of Rust are script-kiddies who think it's "cool" (like Haskell cool) and will likely never write any native application of any significance using it (or any low-level language for that matter).
- kibwen 11y agoGiven that you seem to think that pcwalton is the creator of Rust, I'm guessing that your professed knowledge of the demographics of the Rust community is also entirely fantastical. Would you like to cite a source for your ad-hominem throwaway comments?
- crystalgiver 11y agoI think rust has its merits, don't get me wrong. I just think it has a large cargo cult following of inexperienced script kids who have never used it for anything other than pretending to know what they're taking about.
- kibwen 11y agoAnd what makes you think that?
- crystalgiver 11y agoWell I have no source proper since it's just an opinion I hold and not a fact. But just looking at some of the comments in thread, they essentially boil down to: "Dur I'm so smart, Rust makes this obsolete, C++ got it 'wrong'" Like man, do you want a gold star? WE ALL KNOW ABOUT THE BORROW CHECKER. You're not informing anyone, you're just publicly masturbating on HN. 99% chance it's just some know-it-all talentless n00b who's proficient in JS and loves react.js. "Wah!!! Move semantics make my bwain hoyt!! I got a segfault :( C++ makes me feel bad about myself. But it's okay because it's old and obsolete, Rust is better."
