It seems the title changed. It's now "How Rust went from a side project to the world’s most-loved programming language."
The URL slug shows the old title perhaps.
- zabzonk 4y agoi can't believe there is ANY evidence for "most-loved"! most programmers have almost certainly never used it, much less loved it.
- sebzim4500 4y agoIt wins 'most loved' in the stackoverflow survey every year, so that is certainly some evidence.
- B8MGHCBekDuRi 4y agothe evidence is the same of the elections: if only 30% of the people vote, the most loved vote was non voting. I don't see PHP programmers going to Stackoverflow to vote for PHP, but it still gets a lot more things done than Rust, for sure. And not because they don't like the language, but because "normies" don't go out talking about their love for the hammer or their drill or their kitchen too... no wait, chefs talk about their knives constantly!
- hdhrufjdi 4y agoEver used Stackoverflow? They do yearly surveys. I am surprised there are people not aware of them
- zabzonk 4y agoever heard of self-selection?
- ModernMech 4y agoSure, but that doesn't mean there isn't any evidence, as you claimed. A consistent result, year-over-year, in a large and long-running survey is definitely evidence. Not proof, but still evidence.
