Also: almost everyone who uses rust does so by their own choice.
- elsjaako 6y agoThis is mentioned in the article
- pengaru 6y agoI don't get this comment, rust is a new language that isn't widely embraced by employers yet. How would rust have a significant number of users forced to use it?
- power78 6y agoHe means: another reason rust users love it so much is because they are not being forced to use it
- mcintyre1994 6y agoIt’s discussed in the article but that quality kind of ‘games’ the metric SO are using - what % of people using it want to keep using it? If people were forced to use it for work then you’d likely see a lower number regardless how good it is just because it wouldn’t be every single person’s preference. It’s not a bad thing - a new language that doesn’t reach that point probably dies - but it does make it easier to score highly on their metric.
- canofbars 6y agoAlso the same for Haskell so I would have expected to see that much higher.
- tempodox 6y agoWhich makes it seem logical that the people who consistently use it do so because they love it. Point proven. Other than, say, JS for instance. If you want to make webware you just have to use it, regardless of whether you like it or not. Or C/C++ for embedded. There are efforts to bring more languages into that space but at the moment you'd be hard pressed if you wanted to use anything else.
