This is cool. I'm really excited about Rust, but as a programming hobbyist(noob) I haven't been able to get very far with it. The language is starting to become more googleable now, even though the name "rust" is a hinderance. That's one of the things I like about clojure. Very googleable name.

I guess/hope that "rustlang" (like with D and go before) will become the googleable term.

  Golang was the original name of the language.

Trying to find out what rustc's oxidise step was especially painful.

As it becomes more famous Google will learn that it's a programming language and that you're a programmer. The first search result for "View" is the Android documentation for me.

  This. Google has been talking about personalized search for a decade. And for years they would say that your search results were personalized but it wasn't really obvious. You had to just trust that what you're seeing is better because they say it is and that it's just for you. But sometime in the last few years this seems to have hit an inflection point. Domain and location specific results are expected now. Where a decade ago I would have to type in "Sycamore San Francisco" now I just type in "Sycamore" and I get what I want. This also has an effect on adwords campaign tuning. As people become trained to not include locale in their query, the keywords become fewer and more generic. You of course use location targeting but many people crafted thousands of location-specific keywords that get less and less traffic going forward.
