Thanks, 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.

Well, 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.

  Here 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.

Rust 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".
