I think those stats might not be easy to come by. I know you can find download stats for Rust at https://lib.rs/stats but I don’t think it’s easy to find a similar data set for other languages?

Very impressed with this report. Whenever I read TigerBeetle's claims on reliability and scalability, I'd think "ok, let's wait for the Jepsen report". This report found a number of issues, which might be a cause fo

Your link calls out Tesla in particular as “Note: Brand is not rank eligible because it does not meet study award criteria.” You are citing a study that specifically excludes Tesla. And even then you’re bragging about Tesla being … average?
