Even as a fan of Rust I've become exhausted by these posts. Surely everyone on here must at this point know what Rust is and roughly why people use it?

I don't think Rust has reached wide acceptance yet.

Sure there are companies that use it, but I bet you'd have a hard time convincing your manager that Rust is widely accepted in industry.

Anyway, I certainly appreciate all of the posts.

Not widely accepted in industry, but widely accepted (or at least known) among HN readers

Which is a very small percentage of people in tech. In my network Rust is still very new to unknown in some tech companies. I will say Go is more the language that emerged.

Yes but we're not talking about the prevalence of these in general, just on HN

I guess people need to kill their time somehow while their rust code finish to compile.

I think Rust fans here at HN appreciate some ammunition when convincing other people that Rust is great!

Forget about Rust, and just think of it as a talk about why you should be considering language X. Do you still feel exhausted?

I think it would be interesting to see a breakdown of the blog posts and talks posted to HN by language.

I would if a post/talk about why you should be considering language X showed up on the front page once a week.
