  Most of the people who use rust, do so on their own volition. I don’t see anyone being held hostage to rust due to corporate policies.

  86.1% of people using Rust love it. For C++ it's 43.4%. [1] You'd have to explain the disparity in the two numbers if you think they're loved for the same reason. Further, Rust is mostly used by people who choose to do so. There are very few people out there forced into maintaining shitty, legacy codebases in Rust because there aren't very many such code bases ... yet.

    Interesting study. Of course you are right. But this study poses the question: are ppm forced to work in julia?

    "It occurs when hostages or abuse victims bond with their captors or abusers." [1] The stories speak of abuse and an unwillingness to leave. This does not detail how they came to be abused or captives. I'm not saying they were asking for it, dressed that way, but maybe these Rust victims' behavior led them to entrapment. That doesn't mean it's not real. This seems a lot like Stockholm syndrome.

  It's just a matter of age .... I remember back in 1990 99% of C++ users loved it, as it was kool.
