No, this is silly. You can look at the availability and maturity of toolchains, the rate of release of projects written in that language, the rate of release of books and learning materials, the rate at which universities begin teaching the language, the volume of discourse devoted to that language in magazines and the online venues which did exist (e.g. Usenet), and crucially the declining metrics of all of the above for the direct competitors of that language. |

Pretty bad situation for Rust.

I guess back in 90s they didn't do grep clones every weekend, so Rust wins here definitely.

And what this data tells us?
> the rate at which universities begin teaching the language
Pretty bad situation for Rust.
> the volume of discourse devoted to that language in magazines and the online venues which did exist (e.g. Usenet)
But you need to normalize this volume against total volume of content out there produced every second, and then situation becomes complicated.

Why ignore job offerings?
