Ask HN: Why are all these Rust related posts showing up on HN?
- dakom 6y agoInteresting - I noticed a similar thing and asked: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23060724 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23060724 Doesn't seem specific to Rust, I noticed a similar dynamic around other topics over time.
- AnimalMuppet 6y agoBecause many of care about programming, and programming languages, and find Rust to be an interesting language. And because Rust isn't yet in the "old fogey" language category - it's still new enough that there are interesting aspects of it to explore that (for most of us) haven't already been explored a dozen times.
- gorgeous_france 6y agoBecause it ticks all the boxes of performance and safety. The community, documentation and tooling are also great.
- the_hoser 6y agoIt's hot right now. They're in the "ramping up" phase of popularity. Mainstream vendors are starting to take it seriously.
- alrs 6y agoGood-natured brigading. People who have put time into Rust have made a career bet that will only pay off once they can get a job somewhere using it. Others aren't programmers, but like the "better" and "safer" story that goes along with Rust, which allows for the signal of virtue when they evangelize.
