Why every release of Rust appears on HN? (meanwhile Python, Node, Ruby, Perl, PHP, etc... don't enjoy that same treatment)

Often the others (at least some of them) do get posted too. It's just a matter of what gets traction.

Other languages' releases do get submitted. I just checked Ruby, Python, and Node, and all their last releases were submitted and got some upvotes, but not a ton of discussion.

  The Christmas release cycle of Ruby probably doesn't help either ;)

Rust is just doing more that's interesting for folks here to talk about.

For F sake... what's wrong with people in HN? A simple question gets a ton of downvotes...

  > Why every release of Rust appears on HN? Perfectly fine question. > (meanwhile Python, Node, Ruby, Perl, PHP, etc... don't enjoy that same treatment) This is the part that's getting downvoted. It's needlessly snide, especially because it's not actually true — you'll see posts about plenty of language on the home page, posts about the progress of C++ working groups get frequent attention, etc.
