It doesn't show how much Rust inproved in usage compared to last year.
- pistolfuck 10y agoProbably because it's failing and is mismanaged. Don't get me wrong, I hate dart almost as much as rust, but Gilad is a powerhouse and there's some interesting projects. All rust has is servo, a bunch of cucked-out communists, no standardization, etc.
- xiphias 10y agoWhy the downvote? Rust is on 41th place on the linked TIOBE index and I would expect it to be growing faster than Dart from the HN articles that were popular last year. Dart was compared to last year on the index, but Rust wasn't, so I don't think saying that Dart was the second fastest growing language is fair.
- steveklabnik 10y agoIt did say that, "Rust kept its top 50 position (from 47 to 41)." But also, Rust and Dart are very different languages, so bringing Rust up here feels very offtopic.
- xiphias 10y agoThanks, I didn't see it..I thought it's interesting because every few days there's a new library ported to Rust shown on HN, which gave the impression to me that it's the fastest growing language.
- steveklabnik 10y agoWell, TIOBE's rankings only prove what TIOBE's rankings say. You should examine their methodology and take it for whatever you think it's worth. It does a very specific kind of thing.
- pseudosavant 10y agoHere is their methodology FWIW: http://www.tiobe.com/tiobe-index/programming-languages-definition/ http://www.tiobe.com/tiobe-index/programming-languages-defin... I don't know what they are really trying to measure but it seems pretty useless.
- dunkelheit 10y agoRust people are very good at marketing and community building and you have experienced it yourself. Which is a great thing, it would be sad for such a promising language to fail because "people just didn't get it".
- flukus 10y ago> Rust people are very good at marketing and community building and you have experienced it yourself. This is why languages succeed and fail, not technical merits.
- andrewbinstock 10y agoAt HN, we're a very small community in a very large profession. Viewing what that larger profession is doing based principally on what you see here is likely to be misleading.
