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++?

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

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.

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

> I couldn't even tell if you are joking

I'm thinking the same about your comment :D

[lyu07282]

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

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.
