OK, so show us your source that shows Rust has higher uptake.

    Rust jobs: 0.04 Python jobs: 0.9 Seems about right, maybe. Except there's no way PHP (0.09), Ruby (0.07) and Go (0.1) are on the same magnitude as Rust jobs. So this site doesn't pass the sniff test for me.

      So it just must be the case that Rust has more jobs because that smells right to you? Even compared to Go which has found a nice niche in networking? If Rust is as good as its evangelists say it is, we won't have to worry about how the stats smell, we'll see it, and it won't rely on some "Cnile" conspiracy to keep it down either.

        I think you've got the parent backward: they're saying that Rust "should" have far less jobs than these other technologies. If your parent is wrong, happy to be corrected. I thought it was interesting that we read the post in completely opposite ways, and I think both readings can be accurate. I based my reading on a vague remembering that I think the parent isn't a fan of Rust, which is fuzzy and also may be wrong!
