Let's be real, in the real world D, go or rust are not competitors to anything.
Just take a look at http://www.modulecounts.com http://www.modulecounts.com
to see the gap between language ecosystems.
- giancarlostoro 7y agoI'm not sure I agree with "real world" being the number of publicly available packages. Better metric is companies using those languages: https://dlang.org/orgs-using-d.html https://dlang.org/orgs-using-d.html https://www.rust-lang.org/production/users https://www.rust-lang.org/production/users and we know plenty are using Go in prod, including Slack, Google (heavily for YouTube's database layer), and many others.
- Ygg2 7y agoWhy did you link to start of production page? https://www.rust-lang.org/production/users https://www.rust-lang.org/production/users has all production users (it admittedly has a lot of Bitcoin Startups). But lacks some important users like Microsoft (for ripgrep in Visual Studio Code) and Facebook for its usage of Rust for Mercurial (admittedly this isn't production ready).
- giancarlostoro 7y agoI hadn't been to their users page in a while. I'll update my post.
- eikenberry 7y agoUsing module counts is an odd metric. Languages mean much different things by modules and have radically different cultures surrounding the size and scope of a module. While an interesting metric to track, it is pretty meaningless as any sort of popularity measurement.
