Have a look at any serious job postings. C++ jobs outnumber Rust jobs somewhere around 50:1. Internet hype meets actual industry reality :-).

  Or could it be (or to be a bit of devil's advocate) that Rust projects require only 2% (1/50) of manpower, comparing the same project using C++?

    I couldn't even tell if you are joking. Rust is weird, its like a programming language people developed a parasocial relationship with. If a Twitch streamer was a programming language it would be Rust. Perhaps its just people being immature I don't know.

        It's a programming language with a fandom, isn't that odd? ^^

      I was, but I guess adding /s at the end in these cases is a requirement nowadays...

    That's not devil's advocate, that's just being silly.

    Even if the basic idea might make sense there's no way the number if anywhere close to 1/50. Even 1/2 sounds unrealistic.
