Rust is a beautiful modern language but still not well known. I want/wish Rust to be more popular so that I don't have to send a link to rust lang website when I tell them I like Rust
Awesome watching @typescriptlang and @rustlang continue to do their thing. Looking at the last 30 days on GitHub, sorted by PR. TypeScript is now 5th most popular, and Rust is 13th!pic.twitter.com/f176UM7tUB

If Rust is continues to grow like this, that recognition will come with time, I think. It took Go a few years before it became well know (Go came out in 2009, but Rust only hit 1.0 in 2015)

Does "PRs" also count plain-ol' commits? Some of us work on things by ourselves :P

I believe it's only PRs iirc

I like
@typescriptlang, but how many of those PRs are just type defs for plain JS libraries? -
Are you referring to DefinitelyTyped (type defs for plain JS libraries)? It is a separate repo all together
-
Those numbers are across all of GitHub's projects. Should be easy to look at DT if you're interested
-
There definitely aren't over 9000 PRs/month to DefinitelyTyped though.

Half the PRs that C is getting. That’s a pretty awesome adoption waypoint to being a safer C.

Since Python, C# and PowerShell can accomplish the same work in very similar ways, it is strange that Microsoft would continue to put resources behind a language with syntax as clunky as PowerShell.

And you were part of both the teams? That's awesome :)

Comparisons based on the volume of existing code bases, and separately the volume of distinctly new code, would be more interesting measurements to determine coding trends.

feel free to do that analysis. and please share!
