Didn't see a lot of HN posts about "How one rewrote Y from Z to Rust" yet.
- the_duke 10y agoPlenty of Rust related posts, though.
- spriggan3 10y agoMy point is, Go posts easily appears on HN homepage, more than anything else. I didn't see a lot of posts about Java or Python there lately.

- vertex-four 10y agoGo 1.0 is 4 years old now, after 5 years working on developing what is essentially and was always "C with garbage collection and threading". Rust is a year old, after 6 years of research building something novel outside of academic languages, with the final shape of the language heavily changing in the last year. Rust also doesn't ship with an extensive standard library including nearly all the things you'd want to make a basic web app. Basically - Go had a very strong focus on web servers from the start, making it easy to pick up and develop web servers with. Web developers make good early adopters - they'll pick up new tools faster than almost any other group of developers. Rust was released without any of those tools, and they're still changing as the ecosystem develops (especially around async frameworks). And even with that, there's a fair few companies using it for all sorts of cool things: https://www.rust-lang.org/en-US/friends.html https://www.rust-lang.org/en-US/friends.html
